The red hues of the sky at sunset and
sunrise are caused by Mie Scattering,
not Rayleigh Scattering. The colours of
the sky throughout the day and at
sunrise and sunset, are explained by
the phenomena of both Rayleigh
Scattering and Mie Scattering. The
colour of the sky described by
Rayleigh Scattering applies to the hues
of blue, violet and green, not to the
reds, oranges, peaches and purples of
sunrise and sunset. Rayleigh Scattering
is scattering of shorter wavelength
light (e.g. blue & violet) by air atoms
and molecules (not statistical variations
in density of the Earth's atmosphere).
The magnitude or strength of Rayleigh
Scattering varies by the reciprocal of
the wavelength raised to the fourth
power, and hence does not explain the
beautiful variations of reds, purples,
oranges and peachy colours. The latter
colours arise from Mie Scattering, low
angle scattering of light off dust, soot,
smoke and (ash) particles. Mie
Scattering (producing the colours of
sunset and sunrise) is beautifully
recognizable down-wind of and after
dust storms, forest fires and volcanic
eruptions that inject large quantities of
fine particulate matter into the
atmosphere.
