Why isn't the sky violet?

Question

It is said that blue color of our sky is due to its shorter wavelength and it is scattered more than red but violet has the shortest wavelength then why isn't our sky violet.

Answer 1

As it turns out, violet is shorter in wavelength than blue and is scattered more strongly. The sky is not violet because sunlight contains fewer violet photons than blue ones, so more blue photons are scattered.  In addition, the eye is less sensitive to violet light than it is to blue.
