Question

absorbed in

reflected by

transmitted through

scattered by

Answer 1

The correct option is "scattered by."

The sentence would read: "The Sun is going down, and most of the land is dark, but we can see silhouettes and outlines of objects because some light is still scattered by the atmosphere."

This refers to the phenomenon where light from the Sun is scattered in different directions by particles in the atmosphere, allowing us to see some outlines even when it is getting dark.
