  2. Crepuscular rays - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crepuscular_rays

    Crepuscular rays usually appear orange because the path through the atmosphere at dawn and dusk passes through up to 40 times as much air as rays from a high Sun at noon. Particles in the air scatter short-wavelength light (blue and green) through Rayleigh scattering much more strongly than longer-wavelength yellow and red light.

    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/Sunbeam

    Particles in the air scatter short wavelength light (blue and green) through Rayleigh scattering much more strongly than longer wavelength yellow and red light. Loosely, the term "crepuscular rays" is sometimes extended to the general phenomenon of rays of sunlight that appear to converge at a point in the sky, irrespective of time of day. [5] [6]

  5. Diffuse sky radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_sky_radiation

    At sunrise or sunset, tangentially incident solar rays illuminate clouds with orange to red hues. The visible spectrum, approximately 380 to 740 nanometers (nm), [1] shows the atmospheric water absorption band and the solar Fraunhofer lines. The blue sky spectrum contains light at all visible wavelengths with a broad maximum around 450–485 nm ...
