I am very afraid to see our sky in RED or Orange or Brown eyes open all times of the day.. It is always relaxing to see a blue sky..
The sky is blue partly because air scatters short-wavelength light in preference to longer wavelengths. Combined, these effects scatter (bend away in all directions) some short, blue light waves while allowing almost all longer, red light waves to pass straight through. When we look toward a part of the sky not near the sun, the blue color we see is blue light waves scattered down toward us from the white sunlight passing through the air overhead.
It is beautiful that we can see the sky blue...there are many people who can't see it (vision impaired)..
I closed my eyes.

the effect is called Rayleigh Scattering by physicists. Basically air molecules in the atmosphere refract more blue light than red, making the sky appear blue. When the sun is close to the horizon, dusk or dawn, we see more red light because most of the blue light is refracted out of our line of sight at that low angle of the sun. hope this helps!

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.The white light from the sun is a mixture of all colours of the rainbow. This was demonstrated by Isaac Newton, who used a prism to separate the different colours and so form a spectrum. The colours of light are distinguished by their different wavelengths. The visible part of the spectrum ranges from red light with a wavelength of about 720 nm, to violet with a wavelength of about 380 nm, with orange, yellow, green, blue and indigo between. The three different types of colour receptors in the retina of the human eye respond most strongly to red, green and blue wavelengths, giving us our colour vision.
haha its may be also that its not actually blue, it only looks blue because of the suns light bouncing off the ozone layer.

If I remember correctly I think it may be called Rayleigh Scatter. But that was a few yrs. ago so I might be wrong.

Refraction of the sun's light through the atmosphere. Red wavelengths are absorbed more easily. Bules aren't. Hence blue sky.
