Why is sky not blue anymore?
Blue Color If all the colors were spread equally the sky would look white, since all of the colors of light combined make white light. But the atmosphere does not spread all colors equally in all parts of the sky, and that is why the sky is not a uniform color. The color that is most readily spread is blue.
