Dear Jyoti,
The particles in the atmosphere are able to scatter lights of small wavelength...towards the blue part of the spectrum,
the size of the particles is not so small to scatter violet....their sizes are sufficient to scatter light at the midle last region of the spectrum,
as a result the sky appears blue.
Regards.

actually the scattered light is violet only but our eyes are more sensitive to blue colour therefore we see sky as bllue

The length of a massless rod is measured using vernier callipers having 10 vernier scale divisions and least count of 0.1 mm. Two masses 1.00 ± 0.01 kg and 4.00 ± 0.02 kg are attached to its ends. If reading of vernier scale is 5 divisions coinciding with 1.3 cm, what is the % error in locating centre of mass from lighter mass
