Scattering occurs when light or other energy waves pass through an imperfect medium (such as air filled with particles of some sort) and are deflected from a straight path. A great example is when the sun's rays pass through clouds.
The colour of the scattered light depends on the size of the scattering particles. If the size of the particles is very fine, they scatter mainly light of shorter wavelength or blue light. If the size of particles is larger, they scatter light of longer wavelength (light of red and orange colour). If the size of particles is large enough, they scatter light of all the colours and appear white (light of seven colours form white light).
