The phenomenon of splitting white light into seven colours when it passes through a glass prism is called dispression of white light .
example : Formation of ranibow
When sunlight enters the atm. of the earth , the atoms and molecules of different gases present in the atmosphere absorb this light . then thses atoms and molecules of the gases re-emit light in all directions. this process is known as the scatrring of light.
Example : sky would appear black in day time if earth had no atmosphere.
color of sky is blue
clouds are white
the diffrence is that dispersion based only white light's .

Answer:
Breaking up of the component colours of light is called dispersion. Dispersion is caused due to difference in velocity of each colour through a medium. Scattering of light takes place due to interaction of light and particles suspended in a medium. Rainbow is an example of dispersion. Blue colour of sky, red colour of sky at sunrise or sunset is example of scattering of light.
