Why is the sky a different shade of blue at different places?

158 views

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.

Not a scientist so I’m sorry if this explanation is lacking. The color you see is based on light coming through the atmosphere and bouncing on dust, smoke and water vapor as well as the angle the light is coming from which gives the orange red at dusk due to the longer time that light has to interact with things in the air.
