Polarized light from the sky

In Andy's article on polarized light there is reference to the natural polarized light of certain parts of the sky. It's my understanding that such polarization occurs because of light being reflected from tiny particulate matter suspended in our atmosphere, and that a polarizing filter over the camera lens simply eliminates that "glare" the same way it eliminates glare from water, roadways, etc. Anybody heard of other explanations as to why you can darken parts of the sky with a polarizer?   Just curious!   Lukens
