Atticus shows this in the smallest of ways, such as with the family's ornery old neighbor, Mrs. Dubose, who makes a habit of taunting Jem and Scout when they walk by her house. Just hold your head high and be a gentleman, Atticus advises Jem.
As light continues to move though the atmosphere, yellow wavelengths are scattered leaving orange wavelengths. Further scattering of orange wavelengths leaves red as the predominate color of sunlight. Therefore, near sunrise and sunset, a cloud's color is what sunlight color it receives after Rayleigh scattering.
(skÄtâ²Ér-Ä­ng) The spreading of a stream of particles or a beam of rays, as of light, over a range of directions as a result of collisions with other particles. Scattering is responsible for the color of the sky. On a clear day, the sky is blue, because blue light from the sun is scattered by the atmosphere's particles to a greater degree than other colors of light.
