The color blue is the result of a particular wavelength of light (it is in the shorter wavelength part of the visible spectrum). Different wavelengths bounce off air molecules, or pass around air molecules without bouncing off, depending upon their wavelength, whether it is larger or smaller than the size of an air molecule. As a result the atmosphere alters the light that passes through it. Blue is scattered, making the sky appear blue, while leaving more of the longer wavelengths in the sunlight that reaches the Earth, giving it a warm golden color. This phenomenon is officially known as Rayleigh Scattering.
