blue light has the biggest wavelength out of all the visible light spectrum, therefore it doesn't get filtered out in the atmosphere like all the other colors

Wow. 8 answers and only one right. Blue light has the shortest wavelength of visible light, not the longest. So the light from the Sun is more scattered in blue - it goes everywhere, unlike the redder/yellow light, which makes it straight to our eyes. Look up 'Rayleigh scattering'.
The sky is NOT blue because of reflection off the ocean.

A pink sky would be nice. The sky is actually blue because the sun cast a reflection from the ocean and the outer atmosphere acts like a mirror.
Amazing.

The sky isn't blue, the way our eyes interpret the light makes it appear blue.. That's what I remember froim science GCSEs years ago anyway.

Scattering of Light.

Because of the Earth's atmosphere makeup.

Its blue because that is Gods favorite color and He wanted it above us our whole life reminding us of His love.
