The predominant color of the sky, to human eyes, is blue. Our eyes are less sensitive to the shortest wavelength of violet, which is scattered most in the atmosphere.

As a common prism reveals, sunlight is made of all the colors of the rainbow. When light from the sun enters Earth's atmosphere, it is scattered by molecules in the atmosphere. The sky is blue because blue light in the Sun's rays bends more than red light.

The phenomenon known as Rayleigh scattering is responsible for the BLUE color.
