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 Earthâs atmosphere is filled with trillions of tiny dust particles. Most of these particles, or particulates, are too small to be seen with the human eye. The smallest particulates are by coincidence the same length as the wavelength of blue light. As the light from our Sun shines into the atmosphere, most of the colors are able to reach the Earthâs surface uninterrupted. However, because blue light has a wavelength that is the same size as the particulates in the air, this light is scattered in every direction.
