As sunlight passes through the stratosphere, it will be scattered and produce different colors. That's why we see colors on earth.

What are the steps that the sunlight goes though when it enters the atmosphere?
Sunlight gets absorbed, scattered, reflected, and transmitted through the atmosphere. Almost all of the ultraviolet component gets absorbed by ozone in the stratosphere. About half of the radiation gets absorbed or scattered and reflected in the troposphere. The remainder passes through, getting absorbed by the earth's surface.
what happens to sunlight as it enters the earth's atmosphere?
Sunlight experiences some degree of scattering (technically, Rayleigh Scattering) as it passes through the atmosphere, which causes the sky to appear blue and the sunlight to appear yellow. Some of the sunlight encounters clouds, while some reaches the ground.

What happens to sunlight that strike a leaf but is not trapped by photosynthesis?

What is theSection of stratosphere 20 miles above the earth's surface called?
This is the ozone layer, which is spread out through parts of the stratosphere. It protects the surface from ultraviolet radiation, though some still passes through. Without it, life would not be able to exist as it does now.
When sunlight passes through a prism the different wavelengths separate into an of colors?
It's called a spectrum.
