Why is the sky blue? | Science for Kids | Pip and Nib

Why is the sky blue? Sunlight has all the colours in it. The air throws the blue light around the most, so blue comes at you from all over the sky. Pip works it out step by step, and he stops along the way so you can work it out too. Try it at home: a torch shone through a glass of water with a few drops of milk: blue from the side, orange from the end, and a grown-up to help.
