Why December Light Makes Colours Look Softer — Atmospheric Scattering
• December light appears softer due to atmospheric scattering, where sunlight interacts with particles in the atmosphere.
• The sun's lower angle and increased moisture in winter air enhance scattering, diffusing light and softening colors.
• Understanding atmospheric scattering helps appreciate the subtle changes in seasonal light and its impact on color perception.
