Why is the sky blue at midday?-There is a large amount of water in the air and water is blue, so the sky is blue.-Interstellar dust particles interacting in the upper atmosphere cause a cascade of red, green, and blue light, but only the blue light is bright enough to reach the Earth's surface. -Light is scattered from molecules in the sky. The molecules resonate most strongly at higher frequencies/lower wavelengths, so the greatest intensity of scattered light is at the blue end of the spectrum.-Light is scattered from molecules in the sky but only the blue light reaches the Earth's surface.
