Yes. Sun rays (the visible part of the spectrum, at least), are scattered by the gases in the atmosphere to create the red and orange hues as it nears the horizon, and the bluish color when the sun is well above the horizon. In addition, the visible light from the sun gets refracted through water droplets in the lower atmosphere after a strong rain to create a rainbow.
