Detailed Solution

 When the sunlight enters the earth’s atmosphere it gets scattered due to air molecules present in the atmosphere. Sunlight is made up of seven lights, where a few colors 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.
