The elastic scattering of light or other electromagnetic radiation by particles much smaller than the wavelength of the light

Rayleigh scattering of sunlight in a clear atmosphere is the main reason why the sky is blue.

The scattering of electromagnetic radiation by particles with dimensions much smaller than the wavelength of the radiation, resulting in angular separation of colors and responsible for the reddish color of sunset and the blue of the sky. Dispersion of electromagnetic radiation by particles with radii less than 1 10 the wavelength of the radiation. It is named for Baron Rayleigh, who described it in 1871. Since blue light is at the short wavelength end of the visible spectrum, it is scattered in the atmosphere much more than the longer-wavelength red light. This causes the blue colour of the sky, since the observer sees only the scattered light. The Rayleigh laws predict the variation of the intensity and the polarization of scattered light
