Spotlight is a context oriented tool. Sometimes it's makes mistakes if you try to annotate small texts.

I tried your question What is the largest city in Australia? and I got success.

Actually, we have been working with two approaches: Lucene - http://spotlight.dbpedia.org/rest/ and Statistical - http://spotlight.sztaki.hu:2222/rest. For your case, I recommend you to use Lucene approach.

E.g: Why is the sky blue? - http://spotlight.dbpedia.org/rest/annotate?text=%20Why%20is%20the%20sky%20blue?&confidence=0.3
