Hota vs hote... Hota is singular hote is plural. Hota/hote is used when some is certain or is highly certain of something to be. So if someone asks why is the sky blue? It means that person has observed something and knows it for certain its is blue hence hota hai... Why is the sky blue? Translates to asman nila kyun hai.. but then this may only point to a specific one time occurence. As in . Why is the sky blue (today)? . Why is the sky always blue. Translates to in hindi. Asman nila hi kyun hota hai humesha.
Hota hai sort of shows the default condition or the condition it mostly is in. Hope that clears. I am a native hindi speaker.

Word order in hindi is flexible, to a certain degree. In this case, "सूरज आसमान में है" and "आसमान में सूरज है" are equally correct.
