The blue color of the sky is caused by the scattering of sunlight off the molecules of the atmosphere. This scattering, called Rayleigh scattering, is more effective at short wavelengths (the blue end of the visible spectrum).

Diffuse sky radiation is solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface after having been scattered from the direct solar beam by molecules or suspensoids in the atmosphere. It is also called skylight...

In order for Rayleigh scattering to be valid, the size of the particle must be much smaller than the wavelength of the incident radiation, both inside and outside of the particle. These conditions can be expressed as,

Rayleigh scattering spectra are obtained from individual single-walled carbon nanotubes using a laser generated visible and near-infrared supercontinuum. This diagnostic method is non-invasive and general for nanoscale objects.

Rayleigh scattering off a Bose-Einstein condensate was studied. Exposing an elongated condensate to a single off-resonant laser beam resulted in the observation of highly directional scattering of light and atoms.
