Clouds appear white because of scattering The droplets in cloudsare big compared to the wavelength of light so all wavelengths scatter the same It's a different story for the scattering of light from molecules of air in the atmosphere

arka4: thanks
Anonymous: no need bro
arka4: but is scattering not more for shorter wavelengths?
