    Particles that are small compared with the light wavelength scatter blue light more strongly than red light. Because of this, the tiny gas molecules that make up our Earth's atmosphere (mostly oxygen and nitrogen) scatter the blue portion of sunlight in all directions, creating an effect that we see as a blue sky.
