Question

how is light scattered by the air?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the air, part of the sunlight is scattered. The small particles (molecules, tiny water droplets and dust particles) scatter photons the more, the shorter their wavelength is. ... Due to the scattering of light the wood in the background is seen like behind a bluish veil (“aerial perspektive”).

Answer 2

Blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth's atmosphere. Blue is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time. ... Also, the surface of Earth has reflected and scattered the light.
