Rayleigh scattering is the scattering of an incident beam of light by tiny particles (such as individual atoms or molecules) with a radius much smaller than the wavelength of light or other electromagnetic radiation. Rayleigh scattering occurs when light passes through both transparent solids and liquids. In the atmosphere, the Rayleigh scattering of sunlight causes diffuse sky radiation, so we see the sky not only blue, but with a bottomless depth.
