Mie ScatteringAny scattering produced by spherical particles whose diameters are greater than
1/10 the wavelength of the scattered radiation. This type of scattering causes the clouds to
appear white in the sky. Often, hail exhibits in this type of scattering.Rayleigh ScatteringChanges in directions of electromagnetic energy by particles whose diameters are 1/16 wavelength or less. This type of scattering is responsible for the sky being blue.ScatteringThe process in which a beam of light is diffused or deflected by collisions with particles suspended in the atmosphere.
