Explanation:

Blue light has the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency in the visible light spectrum. It is scattered more than red light which has the longest wavelength and the shortest frequency. So, when the Sun is high in the sky, blue light is scattered in all directions as sunlight passes through the atmosphere and we see the sky as blue.
