Scientific paper

Analysis of the visible and near infrared spectra of planetary atmospheres and the multiple scattering of photons within the atmosphere are discussed. Photons detected within the spectral region are solar photons which were scattered by the gas and particles in the planetary atmosphere. An example is given for the incident and emitted fluxes for a hypothetical planet with an effective temperature of 100 K. The absorption spectrum of the planetary atmosphere is discussed in terms of the various scattering processes photons undergo within the atmosphere. Three different physical processes are considered. Rayleigh scattering and Raman scattering by the gas molecules, and scattering by any cloud or dust aerosol particles in the atmosphere. The physics of each of these processes is examined.
