And if you average over a range of size parameters, you'll get white scattered light (look outside at the clouds in the day time). | |
| Feb 21, 2017 at 13:20 | comment | added | Jokela | I didn't wrote my answer "just for the bounty", so don't bother. I Just thank you for a very good question. And even for this "mainstream" answer, which is a very good approach too. Yet I think it should be tested in the lab, if this dust can cause any observable redness. I doubt it can, but then my doubts are nothing, and experiments/true observations are everything. | |
