So I think my question is not so much about the scattering details but more about the statistics of particles in the air, their size and their reflection ability (maybe just their 'color'?). | |

I think OP described ordinary reflection on quite large particles, which should better explain sparkling. Do you think there would be much sparkling for the Rayleight scattering? | |
