Scattering by clouds is sometimes called:
A)Rayleigh.
B)Mie.
C)convection.
D)non-selective.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scattering by clouds is non-selective, meaning that it scatters all wavelengths of light equally regardless of their size or frequency. Rayleigh and Mie scattering are types of selective scattering based on particle size and frequency, respectively. Convection refers to the transfer of heat through the movement of fluid, and is not directly related to scattering by clouds.
