    As light moves through the atmosphere, alot of the longer wavelengths go straight through. a bit of red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.

    The blue light is radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.
