When you hear a weather report that forecasts scattered showers, you might wonder what you can expect. Usually it means that some parts of your area will have rain from time to time during the day or night. Some of the rain might fall where you are, and some of it will fall somewhere else. It will be scattered through the reporting area.
When the clouds in the sky are scattered in the book "Hatchet," it typically signifies a clearing of the weather and potentially an improvement in conditions for the protagonist, Brian. It may indicate a shift from stormy or turbulent weather to calmer skies, allowing for better visibility and a sense of hope or relief in the story.
Broken cloud cover refers to clouds covering between 5/8 to 7/8 of the sky, with distinct breaks in between. Scattered cloud cover refers to clouds covering between 3/8 to 4/8 of the sky, with more gaps and isolated cloud formations.
Clouds are not opaque; they are actually translucent. This means that they allow some light to pass through but scatter and reflect most of it. Clouds appear white because sunlight is scattered by water droplets or ice crystals in the cloud.
Red light passes most easily through interstellar clouds because it has the longest wavelength and lower energy, making it less likely to be absorbed or scattered by dust particles within the cloud. Blue and violet light, with shorter wavelengths and higher energy, are more likely to be scattered or absorbed.
When solar energy reaches the Earth, some of it is absorbed by the land, oceans, and atmosphere, some is reflected back into space by clouds and particles, and some is scattered by gases and particles in the atmosphere. This energy is important for driving the Earth's climate system and sustaining life on our planet.
The phrase in "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen reads: "The clouds in the sky were scattered therefore it was warmer than Brian had expected."
Altocumulus clouds typically appear as scattered white and gray puffy clouds in the sky. These clouds are found at middle altitudes, between 6,500 to 20,000 feet, and are often associated with fair weather. Altocumulus clouds can signal changing weather patterns if they thicken and lower in the sky.

Fluffy clouds resembling cotton are commonly referred to as "cumulus clouds." These clouds are low-lying, white, and puffy in appearance, often scattered across the sky on a sunny day.
Neptune's atmosphere is blue but it has some clouds. They are like white streaks and are scattered all over the planet Neptune.

If you are referring to what occurs at sunset, the light must travel through more of the atmosphere than at daytime. As it travels through more atmosphere, the light is subjected to more and more gas molecules in the air. The result is that more and more blue light is scattered out of the beam of light that eventually reaches your eyes. So Blue is "scattered out" and the part of light that is left over is red, orange and yellow. When the blue has been scattered out, even the clouds which scatter all colors, look reddish. The only color the clouds can reflect, is the color that shines on it. If blue is scattered out, only red will be reflected and scattered off of the clouds and in to your eyes.

The word scattered (clouds, showers, thunderstorms) means occurring in separate areas, at random, or not connected and continuous. The next higher occurrence level is "widespread" or more numerous, and the lower occurrence level is widely scattered or less numerous.
