The phenomenon of spliting of white light into its constituent colours by the prism is called dispersion. This is the natural phenomenon of dispersion.
Dispersion only occur by prism or 3 sided glass.
But scattering is the process of absorption and then re-emission of light energy.
When a light from the sun enters the earth's atmosphere it gets scattered by the dust particles and air molecules present in air. This is the natural phenomenon for scattering and how it differs from dispersion.
