Why Is The Sky Blue?

The light from the sun looks white. But it is really made up of all the colors of the rainbow.
Earth's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gases and particles in the air. 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 in shorter and smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
