why is the sky blue?

Factual Questions
1

I remember being told as a kid that the sky was blue because the sea was blue. Being gullible, I took it as complete truth. (come on i was a kid) Its only come to my attention now that, hey, water is transparent and with all the vegetation and stuff in the oceans should they, and therefore the sky, be green?

Can someone help?
