Cuz God is male. If he really was a woman, the sky would be pink or purple.

The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.
However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.

The sky is blue because the ground made fun of it. Cheer up sky!

A 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 orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.........................

because blue is the longest wave lenght of the colors so it gets scattered more over the sky

Sorry, I don't have the answer to this one...but your question reminded me of when my son was four and asked this same question. I told him: Because. He asked: Because why? And I said, finally: Because I am the mommy and I said so.
But I see there are some very knowledgeable people who have already answered. So my answer is just to add a little levity!

the blue reflects off the water

The scattered light answer is correct but to expand on that I understand it is the oxygen in the atomosphere that scatters the blue wavelengths of light.

It has to do with the different gases in the atmosphere. When the light from the sun is reflected by these gases, we see blue light.
