“
If a little kid ever asks you just why the sky is blue, you look him or her right in the eye and say, "It's because of quantum effects involving Rayleigh scattering combined with a lack of violet photon receptors in our retinae.

“
The blue sky was a product of Rayleigh scattering. The cold temperature was, of course, a natural consequence of a steep adiabatic lapse rate.

The sky isn't really blue. It just looks that way. It's called Rayleigh scattering.
