The atmosphere of the Earth scatters the white light of the sun into the visual wavelength of about 475 nm which our eyes recieve as blue.

The air acts as a prism and scatters the relatively short wavelength of blue light more than the other colors.

The real question is, why isn't the sky green?

Because a long time ago, the great god Gargamel froze all of the smurfs and sent them flying into the heavens, where they broke into a bunch of tiny smurfragments. That's why the sky is blue.

No, the real real question is, "Why do our eyes perceive 487–570 nm wavelengths as green?"
