Original Note:
Rayleigh scattering is the interaction of light with air molecules, not clouds. It changes the direction of shorter wavelengths (blue) light more than red. Thus we see red when looking towards the sun, and blue sky in other directions. Here, the red is reflecting off clouds. https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/rayleigh-scattering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_scattering
