The Rayleigh sky model describes the observed polarization pattern of the daytime sky. Within the atmosphere, Rayleigh scattering of light by air molecules, water, dust, and aerosols causes the sky's light to have a defined polarization pattern. The same elastic scattering processes cause the sky to be blue.
John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh (/ ˈ r eɪ l i /; 12 November 1842 – 30 June 1919), was an English physicist and mathematician.He spent all of his academic career at the University of Cambridge.

It happens because of something called the Rayleigh effect, or Rayleigh scattering, named after a British scientist who first wrote about it in 1871. Bands of vivid blue, pink and orange light are ...
Rayleigh scattering causes the blue color of the daytime sky and the reddening of the Sun at sunset. Rayleigh scattering (/ ˈ r eɪ l i / RAY-lee) is the scattering or deflection of light, or other electromagnetic radiation, by particles with a size much smaller than the wavelength of the radiation.

Robert John Strutt, 4th Baron Rayleigh FRS [1] (28 August 1875 – 13 December 1947) was a British peer and physicist. He discovered "active nitrogen" and was the first to distinguish the glow of the night sky.
