SCATTERING Light rays scattered in many different directions • “Mie” Scattering
- larger particles (e.g. cloud droplets, haze) - scatter all wavelengths - scattered light looks white (clouds, hazy days, etc)

SCATTERING Light rays scattered in many different directions • “Mie” Scattering
- larger particles (e.g. cloud droplets, haze) - scatter all wavelengths - scattered light looks white (clouds, hazy days, etc)
• “Rayleigh” Scattering
- smaller particles (N2, O2 molecules) - scatter primarily shorter wavelengths (violet - blue) - why sky looks blue during mid-day

Smoke particles are much larger than cloud drops and absorb visible light.

Red Sunsets and Sunrises: Longer path through atmosphere = more blue light scattered away
remaining light is more reddish
