If Earth had no atmosphere like the Moon there would be no scattering, and the sky would remain black, even in daylight ...

It might seem like a simple question. But the science behind a blue sky isn't that easy. For starters, it involves something called the Rayleigh effect, or Rayleigh scattering. But that same ...

Here we demonstrate a low-profile and cavity-free size spectrometer for probing fine and ultrafine particulate matter by using the enhanced particle-perturbed scattering in strong optical ...

Multiple Scattering Directions – Scattered blue light reaches our eyes from all directions, making the sky appear blue. Sunset and Sunrise Effect – During sunrise and sunset, sunlight passes through ...

however they interfere with the solar radiative transfer through the atmosphere. Along with molecular scattering and absorption from gases, aerosol particles and clouds determine in part what fraction ...

Tuesday, NBC5 News viewers submitted unedited pictures of a pink winter wonderland from Weed, California. According to ...

This is because Earth's shadow fully covers the moon, and the sunlight travels through Earth's atmosphere, scattering shorter wavelengths of light while letting the longer red wavelengths reach ...
