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

Answer:

Scattering is the phenomenon of change in direction of light rays when they travel through Earth's atmosphere. Air is a mixture of gases, smoke, dust and very fine particles. As the rays of light fall on these particles, these rays are spread/scattered in all directions. It is a natural phenomenon which is observed on our daily basis.
