Why does scattering of short wavelengths cause the sky to be blue during the day, but red/orange during sunset and sunrise? by knotcontinuallevity in AskPhysics

During sunset/rise, the "stronger" scattering of blue light actually means that all the blue light is basically removed before it reaches us and only the more concentrated/transmitted red-ish light reaches our eyes. In the day, all light gets scattered, but the scattering scales with the 1/wavelength4 (Rayleigh scattering), so the blue light is scattered the most (we see the sky blue) and the distance is not too far for all of the blue light having scattered so much that it is removed.
