Sky is blue because of the scattering of sunlight by the atmosphere.
Infact verdict: True (99/100).
The claim that the sky is blue due to the scattering of sunlight is scientifically accurate. Rayleigh scattering explains why shorter wavelengths of light (blue) are scattered more than longer wavelengths (red). This scatters blue light across the sky, making it appear blue during the day. Additional references confirm this explanation.

Sky is blue because of the scattering of sunlight by the atmosphere.
The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering, where shorter blue wavelengths are scattered more than other colors. This explanation is widely accepted and consistent across scientific literature.
