    Because it forgot to take its anti-depressants.

    I see this question about once a day now.

    It’s a very nice color and there are some very complex explanations for which I doubt that I will ever find of use. I think the sky is blue because of the ionization of gasses in the upper atmosphere. Xenon produces light that is Identical to that color. The night color is transparent because less energy is in the night sky. There has been lots of papers written on the subject and I expect there will be many more as well attempting to explain this phenomena.
