ANSWER
Scattering of sunlight through molecules of atmosphere is the reason for the blue of the sky.
Our atmosphere contains atoms and molecules of different sizes.
According to their sizes they are able to scatter different wavelength of light.
For example, the size of the water molecule is greater than the size of the N2 or O2
It acts as scattering centre for other frequencies which are lower than the frequency of blue light.
Blue colour scatters more than other colours.
That is why sky appears blue.
Answer:
๛ Scattering of light is the phenomenon that causes the sky to appear blue. Fine dust in the earth's atmosphere scatters the sunlight. Out of all the constituent colours of sunlight, blue colour is scattered the most. Thus, the sky appears blue to us.
