1. The formation of rainbow, shift in position of stars, increased day time, mirage, inverted image, glittering of diamond, the working of lens and prism, bending of pen in water are examples of scattering of light.

2. The blue colour of the sky is due to the scattering of sunlight by the molecules of air.

3. During sunrise and sunset, sunlight has to travel greater distance, so shorter wavelength gets scattered off and removed and only orange and red with longer wavelengths reach us.

4. So during sunrise and sunset, sky appears fed and orange.
