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 orangecolours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.

Sunlight reaches 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 as shorter, smaller waves.

The air molecules and other fine particles in the atmosphere have size smaller than the wavelengths of visible light.
Therefore,these molecules and fine particles prominently scatter blue-violet light of shorter wavelengths. Red -orange coloured light of longer wavelengths is scattered the least. The scattered blue light enters our eyes and we see the clear sky to be blue.
