Abstract
We study the scattering absorption and extinction properties of particles o f atmospheric size (from few nanometers to 1 micron) on the basis of severa l pertinent examples. The description is based on the Mie scattering theory . As an illustration we recall the laboratory experiment on scattering prop erties of sodium droplets induced by light.
