Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mie scattering is responsible for hazy or milky-looking skies on hazy days, which is caused by the scattering of sunlight by particles in the air such as dust, smoke, and water droplets.

Answer: D
 Mie scattering can counter the reddening effect responsible for red sunsets and sunrises by scattering blue light more effectively than red light, making the sky appear more blue and less red.
