Just like a prism that refracts light into different colors, the atmosphere acts in the same principle. By the time the light is visibile to us, we see the blue spectrem of color. During dusk and dawn, the sun is further away and refracts off the atmosphere at different angles, this is why you see oranges and reds during the sunrise and sunset.

Because the atmosphere is mostly nitrogen, and nitrogen reflects the blue color in the spectrum and absorbs shorter wavelengths.
Light as we see it is comprised of many different wavelengths, and each wavelength comes up as a certain color to our eyes.
