Grass looks greener from the side than from directly above.

are you sure about that

From the side, the blades obscure the dirt. Either that, or my neighbor's grass really is greener.

okay so that would apply if you could see the dirt, but if we're just talking about a thick turf layer it seems like the top would be greener because that's where most of the reflection is going

If the grass is laying flat against the ground, I guess. But it usually just leans. Either way, this is outside the scope of my statement.

well, you're saying the grass looks less green because of the dirt, but then you're not talking about how green the grass is you're talking about seeing dirt
