31. The Rayleigh scattering ( note spelling, everyone ) makes distant objects bluer, and yellow is complementary to blue. 32. This simplest case is explained by Rayleigh scattering -and to understand that, you have to get into the math. 33. Rayleigh scattering is already strong enough that outer space doesn't contribute much to the color of the sky.34. This is known as Rayleigh scattering . 35. Rayleigh scattering and Mie scattering dominate what they see-just as they do for us down here on earth.36. Why wouldn't it, since Rayleigh scattering would favor that end of the spectrum when sunlight passes through more air? 37. The Rayleigh scattering effect is therefore increased, removing virtually all blue light from the direct path to the observer. 38. Another type of structural color results from the incoherent scattering of light, also known as Tyndall or Rayleigh scattering . 39. Despite the strong wavelength dependence of Rayleigh scattering , its effect on sky glow for real light sources is small. 40. The optical depth of the atmosphere can be divided into several components, ascribed to Rayleigh scattering , aerosols, and gaseous absorption.
