  2. Tyndall effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyndall_effect

    When the day's sky is overcast, sunlight passes through the turbidity layer of the clouds, resulting in scattered, diffuse light on the ground . This exhibits Mie scattering instead of Tyndall scattering because the cloud droplets are larger than the wavelength of the light and scatters all colors approximately equally.

    Other colors occur naturally in clouds. Bluish-grey is the result of light scattering within the cloud. In the visible spectrum, blue and green are at the short end of light's visible wavelengths, while red and yellow are at the long end. [20] The short rays are more easily scattered by water droplets, and the long rays are more likely to be ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_phenomenon

    Common optical phenomena are often due to the interaction of light from the Sun or Moon with the atmosphere, clouds, water, dust, and other particulates. One common example is the rainbow , when light from the Sun is reflected and refracted by water droplets.

    Here is a list of radioisotopes formed by the action of cosmic rays; the list also contains the production mode of the isotope. [4] Most cosmogenic nuclides are formed in the atmosphere, but some are formed in situ in soil and rock exposed to cosmic rays, notably calcium-41 in the table below.
