Why is the sky blue in a short answer?

[41Jirapon004]

A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.

In my point of view, it is like the law of the light that when things cannot absorb some colors from the light, it will reflect that color to our eyes. In this case, I think the sky or the clouds cannot absorb blue color from the light, so it reflects this color to our eyes.

When i think abou sky blue i would imagine to the part of space above the earth, in which the sun, moon etc can be seen; the heavens. The sky was blue and cloudless; We had grey skies and rain throughout our holiday.

Sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gases and particles in the air. Blue light is scattered more than the other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.

I think I don't know the scientific answer about this question.
But, I guest the sky is blue because the universe is in dark blue color and when looking to the sky from the earth, the cloud makes us see sky in blue tone.

According to NASA science, the short answer: sunlight reaches
Earth's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gases
and particles in the air. Blue light is scattered more than the other colors
because it travels as shorter, smaller waves.
This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.

It happens naturally, but science can give you answers.
Unfortunately I can't answer this question because I don't have enough science knowledge.

Blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth's atmosphere. Blue is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.

Actually, I do not know why the sky is blue. I think the sky is blue because of the sunlight reflected off the ocean and back into the sky.
But in the real thing is that the sky is blue because of the way sunlight interacts with our atmosphere.

Form the article, some people think the sky is blue because of sunlight reflected off the ocean and back into the sky. But the sky is blue even in the middle of the countryside, nowhere near the sea!
Others think it’s because of the water in our atmosphere. But the sky is blue in places that are extremely dry, like the desert.

The sky is blue because of the way sunlight interacts with our atmosphere.
Light moves as waves of different lengths: some are short, making bluer light, and some are long, making redder light. As sunlight reaches our atmosphere, molecules in the air scatter the bluer light but let the red light pass through. Scientists call this Rayleigh scattering.
A majority of our atmosphere extends about 16 km upward, and this is where most of the Rayleigh scattering happens.

Because sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gases and particles in the air. Blue light is scattered more than the other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.

After a quick research I found out that the sky is blue because sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gases and particles in the air. Blue light is scattered more than the other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.

The light from the sun looks white. But it is really made up of all the colors of the rainbow. When white light shines through a prism, the light is separated into all its colors. A prism is a specially shaped crystal.
