The sky is blue due to the scattering of sunlight by the atmosphere.
Infact verdict: True (100/100).
The claim is scientifically accurate. Rayleigh scattering causes sunlight to scatter, and blue light is scattered more than other colors due to its shorter wavelength. Hence, the sky appears blue.

The sky is blue due to the scattering of sunlight by the atmosphere.
Rayleigh scattering causes shorter wavelengths of light, such as blue, to scatter more than longer wavelengths. This scattering makes the sky appear blue to our eyes.
