The sky appears blue to us because of a phenomenon called "Rayleigh scattering." When sunlight enters the Earth's atmosphere, it collides with molecules of nitrogen and oxygen, which are present in the air. These molecules absorb some of the blue light, while the remaining colors are scattered in all directions. As a result, the blue light is scattered more than the other colors, giving the sky its characteristic blue hue.
