Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
When sunlight enters the earth’s atmosphere, it gets scattered due to air molecules present in the atmosphere. Sunlight comprises seven lights, where a few colours have longer wavelengths, like red and orange, and others have shorter wavelengths, like blue and violet. But lights with shorter wavelengths get scattered the most because of the air molecules, so blue gets scattered the most, and colors like red do not get scattered. Wherever we look, blue light falls on our eyes after getting scattered from the atmosphere, so we feel the sky’s color as blue.
