Answer:
Verified
You see bright rays of sunlight through small gaps between the leaves of a dense tree due to the Tyndall effect. The small gaps allow sunlight to enter as narrow beams, and tiny dust particles, water droplets and other suspended particles in the air scatter this light. Because of this scattering, the path of sunlight becomes visible as bright rays. This is why sunbeams are clearly seen in a dusty or misty atmosphere.
