"The blue color of the sky is a result of a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering. When sunlight passes through the Earth's atmosphere, it encounters molecules of oxygen and nitrogen. These molecules are much smaller than the wavelength of visible light, causing them to scatter the shorter wavelengths (blue and violet) more than the longer wavelengths (red and orange). As a result, our eyes perceive the scattered blue light coming from all directions, giving the sky its iconic blue appearance." Which quote best explains the phenomenon of Rayleigh scattering?
A) Sunlight passes through the atmosphere and scatters the shorter wavelengths more than the longer wavelengths.
B) The Earth's atmosphere absorbs the blue light, giving the sky its color.
C) Sunlight is absorbed by the atmosphere and re-emitted as blue light.
D) None of the above.
