As the rays of the sun pass though the stratosphere, the light gets scattered by many particles such as water particles, dust and smog. The blue color gets scattered the most and therefore we have a blue sky. In other words, the blue color gets dispersed from the other colors.

However, at dawn or at dusk, the sunlight gets to pass through even more particles, thereby scattering the white light into hues of yellow, orange and red colors.
