These are facts of the type that scientists call "imponderables." There is no "why" about them. They are just the givens--just the way things have worked out.
And they are nothing to worry about. Just live with the facts.

The sky is blue because the sun gives off all colors, but the blue light waves are dispersed all around the sky by the atmosphere. The sun looks yellow when high in the sky because you are seeing all the colors except blue coming straight through the atmosphere.
All color we perceive is from the light waves that are reflected by the object we are looking at. White is when every color is reflected. Black is when all color is absorbed.
Gravity just is. If there was no gravity, there wouldn't be any you or me to ponder it.
As for why, why???? That's just how it is. If it was some other way, you would be wondering why it's that way.
