Where would you expect it to be. It's a bit like asking why is the ceiling over your head. If it was under your feet you'd call it a floor.
The sky is not an object. There is nothing there but the scattering of blue light by the atmosphere. You are really looking into space, into infinity, but in the daytime the sun's light gives a blue aura in the atmosphere.
jeez, you might as well ask why the stars are up in the sky, because they are not really. They are just out there beyond the earth, the great ball we live on.
I hope you are not more than a small child, because otherwise I would wonder at such a childish question.
If you are a small child then I hope I have helped you a little.

why is the sand on the ground? It's just words! Things are given names and the name we give to the effects of the air above us is sky.

Because the sky is very kind and wouldn't want to dissapoint everyone who looks up expecting to see it.
