Sky looks blue due to scattering of.
A
Size
B
Density
C
Atmosphere
D
Temperature
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sunlight reaches Earth’s atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gases and particles in the air. Blue light is scattered more than the other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.

Detailed explanation-2: -The sky is blue due to a phenomenon called Raleigh scattering. This scattering refers to the scattering of electromagnetic radiation (of which light is a form) by particles of a much smaller wavelength.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation : When light passes through atmosphere, the blue light (Light having high frequency) get scattered in sky. So the sky appears to be blue.

Detailed explanation-4: -The blue color of the sky is caused by the scattering of sunlight off the molecules of the atmosphere. This scattering, called Rayleigh scattering, is more effective at short wavelengths (the blue end of the visible spectrum).

Detailed explanation-5: -Scattering of light causes the blue colour of sky and reddening of the Sun at the times of sunrise and sunset. A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light.
