I didn't say which sky now did I? There are skies on other planets that could be any color.

Also the sky on earth can be many colors, although it  generally looks blue during the day. Here are some pictures of earth's sky not being blue.

The sky is mostly blue, so that's why there's the saying that the sky is blue...
As for your sources, they're not reliable.

"The sky" could refer to any sky. There are aliens who think the sky is red.


My sources are direct pictures of earths sky not being blue, and even if there was no pictures allowed you cannot prove that there are not other skies that aren't blue. It is your burden of proof as pro to prove that the sky is blue and also that earth's sky is actually "the" sky because any sky could be called "the" sky.

What?
If one is talking about the sky, they're talking about the Earth's atmosphere, NOT OTHER PLANETS. It looks like you didn't respond to my argument in the comments and if you did you would've seen this:
the region of the atmosphere and outer space seen from the earth.
Above, you can see is the definition of sky...
THE SKY IS BLUE...
YOUR ARGUMENTS ARE INVALID...
