Solution
Sky looks blue, because blue colour undergoes more scattering of light than other colour of light owing to its shorter wavelength. The sky is blue to us by the light being scattered through nitrogen.
More to Know:
In space there is no nitrogen for the light to scatter through, therefore the sky around them seems black.
