Solution

The clear sky appears as blue due to Scattering of light.

Here's a step by step explanation:

  1. Sunlight, or white light, is made up of all different colors of light combined.

  2. When sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere, it interacts with molecules and tiny particles in the air like dust and water droplets.

  3. This interaction causes the light to scatter, or spread out, in all directions.

  4. Blue light is scattered more than other colors because it travels in smaller, shorter waves. This is known as Rayleigh scattering.

  5. When we look up at the sky, we see this blue light scattered from all parts of the sky, not just from the direction of the sun, which gives the sky its blue appearance.
