The molecules of air and other fine particles in the atmosphere have size smaller than the wavelength of visible light. These are more effective in scatterting light of shorter wavelengths at the blue end than light of longer wavelengths at the red end. The red light has a wavelength about 1.8 times greater than blue light. Thus, when sunlight passes through the atmosphere, the fine particles in air scatter the blue colour more strongly than red. The scattered blue light enters our eyes, If the earth had no atmosphere, there would not have been any scattering. Then, the sky would have looked dark. The sky appears dark to passengers flying at very high altitudes, as scattering is not prominent at such heights.

Sky appears blue because blue has the shorter wavelength and so it scatters most in the sky which makes sky appear blue in colour
