@GnomeyGee doesn't explain why

@Prettybratbi1tch The sky is blue because of Rayleigh scattering, where the gas molecules in Earth's atmosphere scatter sunlight, but they scatter shorter wavelengths of blue and violet light much more than longer wavelengths of red and yellow light. When we look up at the sky, we are seeing the blue light that is scattered in every direction, making the sky appear blue.
