the guy above me.. totally wrong
search for the answer in the box clearly labeled "search for questions" you will definately find it
if you are having trouble which answer to pick (b/c some kids like to post things that aren't true - like the kid above me) look for answer that has these words
--scattering of light
--emissions
--water is blue due to reflection of sky - not other way around
this should help you

Ya, the question should be banned, but maybe its a kid with no seach engine skills. Either way the sky is blue cause it is a reflection of what covers most of our planet, water.
