Why is the sky of Mars red and the sunset is blue?

* Why is the sky of Mars red and the sunset is blue?

I have this question. For that, first of all I would like to be able to understand the following questions with modern physics.

* Why is the sky of the earth blue and the sunset is red?
* Why is the ocean of the earth blue?

 It is quite amazing also about the earth.
Why is red light easier to go straight than blue light? For gamma rays and others, the higher the energy, the easier it is to transmit and go straight, so it is opposite and can not be imaged easily.

"Why is the sky of the earth blue and sunset red?"
I have not seen any books that answered this question with quantized electromagnetic field other than "Sakurai Advanced Quantum Mechanics <Volume 1> Radiation and Particles".
Other topics such as virtual photons are exciting as well in this book.

"Modern quantum mechanics" was also very interesting during my student days, so "advanced quantum mechanics" is a book I would like to read someday with fun.
