White light is light that has not been scattered. Shine a beam of white light through a prism, and the light is separated into 'rainbow' colours. Sunlight shining through raindrops is the cause of a rainbow appearing in the sky.
An example is the short wavelengths of sunlight which are blue are scattered by particles in the atmosphere, making the sky blue.

Sunlight scattered by the atmosphere masks the much dimmer light from the stars.

No. The blue you see in the sky is sunlight scattered by the atmosphere. In simple terms, the sky is blue because blue light is more easily scattered. Additionally, air itself has a very slight bluish tint.
Blue light is more energetic than reddish light.
Sunlight is made up of all the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. Some of the sunlight is reflected off the surface of the water, reflecting the color of the sky. Some of the sunlight penetrates the water and is scattered by ripples and particles in the water (this tinges the appearance of the ocean with the color of the particles). In deep water, much of the sunlight is scattered by the oxygen in the water, and this scatters more of the blue light. Water absorbs more of the red light in sunlight; the water also enhances the scattering of blue light. Source: Enchanted Learning
Bluer than it is.
Light is scattered as it passes through a prism.
Ordinary yellow sunlight becomes a rainbow when different frequencies of light are bent in slightly different directions.
About 35% of the light that hits the Earth is reflected away immediately, back into space. The remainder of the light hits the Earth. Some of it is absorbed or scattered in the atmosphere, and much of it reaches the surface as light. Sunlight that is absorbed by the surface heats the Earth.
