Color of clouds

Classical Mechanics

Why do clouds appear white in color?

Why is smoke white in color?

Note: The same answer applies to both the questions.

Try my World of Physics to solve many problems like this one.

Molecules of clouds are larger than wavelength of light so they scatter all colors to equal extent They do not scatter different colors of light There are so many gaps between the molecules in the cloud that light passes undeviated The water molecules in the cloud absorb light
