Dust particles and small water droplets (haze) are larger. They tend to scatter more of the longer wavelengths of visible light. UV and Ozone Absorption of ultraviolet radiation by ozone (O3) wavelengths 300 nm troposphere surface wavelengths 100-300 nm mesosphere/stratosphere wavelengths 100 nm thermosphe
