why do we see the sky blue

white light is composed of seven colours VIBGYOR

where violet light has the highest refractive index and the red light has the lowest, in simple terms violet light bends at a greater angle when it passes from denser to rarer medium whereas the red light bends the least.

in sky the light with blue colour similarly bends more and is scattered around at greater extent.

Although violet light bends the most, our eyes are much more adapted to see the blue light

hence, sky appears blue.

I hope your query was answered!

the blue color of the sky

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The color of the sky is due to the property of dispersion of light the white light of the color before reaching the earth's surface gets dispersed into its 7 components VIBGYOR the molecules present in the atmosphere are capable of scattering only the light with the shortest wavelength and hence red light won't get scattered

As the light that we get from sun is white in color and due to atmospheric refraction splitting up of white light takes place and the light with the longest wavelength gets lost in the space and blue and violet has the shortest wavelength but the intensity of blue will be much more than that of violet which makes us see the sky blue in color and our eyes are more sensitive to blue light
