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. Therefore, in the scattered light, the short wavelengths predominate, the sky appears blue, while direct sunlight is somewhat yellowish, or even reddish when the sun is very low.

Chakshu290703: That is dispersion
rdgh123: no
rdgh123: that is dispersion
rdgh123: but not scattering of light
Himanshukajaria: now it is correct

scatting is a general physical process where some from of radiation ,such as light , sound ,or moving particles ,are forced to deviate from a straight trajectory by one and more paths due to localized .........

Chakshu290703: As far as I know they dont occur due to radiations but only due to particles
