The Rayleigh scattering law tells us that the scattering of light is inversely proportional to λ⁴, which also tells us that the shorter wavelengths (like the blue light) are scattered more (1/λ⁴ is larger if λ is small) and this is why the sky is blue buff.ly/2KpHf8z

A nice trick question is what color is the sun?
It appears white in space, but, as measured by peak photon count, it is green.
