Mie scattering: 

1. Mie scattering takes place when the diameter of the Scatterer is similar to or larger than the wavelength of the incident light. It is also an elastic scattering. 

2. The amount of scattering is independent of wavelength. 

3. Mie scattering is caused by pollen, dust, smoke, water droplets, and other particles in the lower portion of the atmosphere. 

4. Mie scattering is responsible for the white appearance of the clouds. 

5. When white light falls on the water drop, all the colours are equally scattered which, together form the white light.
