Question

Can visible light be scattered by atom in earth atmosphere

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Please note that atoms and molecules that are present in the earth's atmosphere are extremely small in size. For a particle to scatter light, it must have appropriate size. Thus, atoms and molecules being too small will not scatter light.

Answer 2

Answer:

Sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gases and particles in the air. Blue light is scattered more than the other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
