      I’m afraid I don’t, but I have found quite a nice website about it…

      It’s to do with rays of light scattering as the hit our atmosphere and blue light (the smallest wavelength) scatters the most. This is a bit more on the physics side of things and i am almost definitely explaining badly but Hanna seems to have found a great link 🙂

      On a side note, i think the same process is why the sea is blue.
