the blue colour of the sky
----------------------------
The colour of the sky is due to the property of dispersion of light the white light of the colour 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 colour and our eyes are more sensitive to blue light

Blue colour of sky
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
colour of sky blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun . blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.
The light from the sun looks white. But it is really made up of all the colors of the rainbow. we can check this by using prism.
Blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth's atmosphere.
