This phenomenon is called scattering. It occurs when light interacts with particles of matter and changes its direction due to the interaction. Scattering is responsible for various optical phenomena in the atmosphere, such as the blue color of the sky and the red hues during sunrise and sunset.

What is a electric current that's changes direction called?

An electric current that changes direction is called an alternating current (AC). In an AC circuit, the flow of electrons changes direction periodically, typically at a frequency of 50 or 60 Hz. This is in contrast to direct current (DC), where the flow of electrons is constant in one direction.
