Atticus shows this in the smallest of ways, such as with the family's ornery old neighbor, Mrs. Dubose, who makes a habit of taunting Jem and Scout when they walk by her house. Just hold your head high and be a gentleman, Atticus advises Jem.
As light continues to move though the atmosphere, yellow wavelengths are scattered leaving orange wavelengths. Further scattering of orange wavelengths leaves red as the predominate color of sunlight. Therefore, near sunrise and sunset, a cloud's color is what sunlight color it receives after Rayleigh scattering.
The earth is surrounded by layers of gases called the atmosphere. Some wavelengths of electromagnetic waves arriving from space are absorbed by the atmosphere and never reach the surface of our planet. Take a look at the following diagram.The earth's atmosphere absorbs the majority of ultraviolet, X-, and gamma rays, which are all shorter wavelengths than visible light.ortunately, the atmosphere protects life on earth. Long-wavelength radio waves and infrared rays also do not reach the surface. The electromagnetic waves we can generally observe on the ground consist of visible light, which is difficult for the atmosphere to absorb, near-infrared rays, and some electromagnetic waves.
