We all know that the sky is blue, but I have seen the color of the sky in the day (because during sunrise and sunset it is obviously different) it is not the same shade of blue across places. Why is that? There isn’t any fixed shade of blue which we can say is the color of the sky.

When you look towards the horizon, there’s a lot more air between you and space than when you look directly up. More air accounts for more of that blue hue.
Latitude also matters, because the closer to the poles you get, the lower in the sky the sun will be. That means its light needs to pass through more air to get to ou so the sky is bluer overall in high/low latitudes.
