Why is the sky blue? and orange? and what else?

So as I was looking and thinking of stuff to do one day, I simply looked up to the sky and noticed how beautifully orange and even red it appeared in the evening one day. I began to wonder why or what exactly causes that color change to occur? And to expand on that I questioned myself on a broader scale and wondered why is the sky blue in the first place? Needless to say I have had thoughts before about the sunlight perhaps playing a role in this (given the time of day) but I never was sure or even bothered to care before...until we started our color unit in this class.



In short just starting and wondering more about color in general has also inspired me to delve into discovering why this could occur and also maybe what exactly is causing this before. I guess sometimes just seeing the beauty of something in nature, even something so commonplace as this, can be enough to make you question why some day. When it comes to trying to understand behaviors of "sky color," I guess today was one of those kinds of days for me.
