Name a natural phenomenon which is caused by the dispersion of sunlight in the sky.

A rainbow is a natural phenomenon which is caused by the dispersion of sunlight in the sky.

Explanation
 The phenomenon of splitting white light into its components colours (violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red) while passing through a prism is known as the dispersion of light.

The cause of the dispersion of light through the prism is because white light is a mixture of seven different colours and they get refracted (bend) at different angles in the prism medium. So they get separated.
