Original Note:
No, the sky is not blue because of water above us. The blue color of the sky is due to a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering. Sunlight is made up of different colors, which are different wavelengths of light. Blue light has a shorter wavelength than red light. https://www.rmg.co.uk/stories/topics/why-sky-blue
