There is not refraction neither difraction. It is dispersion. The size of molecules of the air causes the blue part of the light spectra to be dispersed more than the other frequencies. So blue comes to our eye from all directions except when we look directly to the sun. Then we should see it white (all colors) but we see it slightly yellow because our eye is more sensible to the yellow frequencies.

The sky is blue because from the reflection of the sun and air to help it be blue

The sky absorbes all of the colors of the rainbow except for blue, which is reflected into our eyes.

water molecules in the atmosphere refract the light, and your eyes receive that refracted light in such a way that it appears blue
