The correct answer is - cyanobacteria.

The atmospheric oxygen came from the cyanobacteria. These were one of the earliest living organisms on Earth. The cyanobacteria was using photosynthesis in order to create its own food. The photosynthesis process requires sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, and oxygen. The oxygen is mostly released as a waste product from the process of photosynthesis, thus the cyanobacteria were literally releasing oxygen that was ending up into the atmosphere. As more and more cyanobacteria there were across the planet, more and more oxygen they were releasing into the atmosphere, slowly changing the composition of the atmosphere, and setting the basis of it as we know it now.

Why is the sky blue?
Andrew [12]
Hi!

Our sky is blue because air molecules will span out <em>blue </em>light from our sun more than <em>red </em>light from our sun.

If you look at the sun, you'll see orange and red colours due to the fact that the suns blue light has already been disbursed away from our line of sight.

Hopefully, this helps! =)
