BECAUSE YOU MAY BE WEARING GREEN COLOUR GOGGLES...
Rayleigh scattering (named after Lord Rayleigh) is the scattering of light, or other electromagnetic radiation, by particles much smaller than the wavelength of the light. It occurs when light travels in transparent solids and liquids, but is most prominently seen in gases. Rayleigh scattering of sunlight by the atmosphere is the main reason light from the sky is blue.

The sky is usually blue on a sunny day where I live (near Portland, OR).
I have never seen a green sky, but I understand that in some of the northern latitudes, it can have a green hue at times.
If you are wearing certain colored glasses or contacts, I suppose the color could be different than blue.

You either have a monster storm on the way or you're color blind. Maybe the green tint to your glasses??

It's because you are color blind. Or perhaps there is a tornado coming. Also because of the refraction of various frequencies of light waves.

Simple. It is blue. Tell yourself that, believe, and it is.
Reality is what you make of it.
Things are what you call them.
Knowledge is how you come to it.
