Halo around the Sun - Halo around the Sun - Halos are due to the light of the Sun reflected by high-altitude clouds, Cirrostratus, composed of ice crystals. They bend the light and cause a perfect circle around the Sun. In this photo, a parhely is also visible. (c) 2006 Jerry Lodriguss/www.astropix.co

$Halo around the Sun and condensation train - Sun Halo and contrail. - Halos are due to the light of the Sun reflected by high-altitude clouds, cirrostratus, composed of ice crystals. They bend the light and thus cause a perfect circle around the Sun. 14 May 2006, Finistere. Halos are caused by sunlight being refracted by cirro - stratus clouds. These are thin clouds, very high in the atmosphere, and are composed of ice crystals. They bend light at a 22 degree angle, which creates a halo around the sun that is 44 degrees in diameter.

$Arc de fog - Fogbow - Arc de fog observed in Brittany on 5 May 2006. A haze arc is formed in the way of a rainbow. The light of the Sun is reflected in the water drops of the mist, but unlike raindrops, the mist droplets are much smaller: about a millimetre for the rain versus a few centiemes for the mist. As a result, the diffraction in the mist droplets is preponderant, which results in colour refracting at random angles, between 30 and 45* around the anti-sun point (opposite the Sun). Thus, all colours blend and one sees a white arch of light, sometimes slightly bluish on the inside and red on the outside, wider than a rainbow. Fogbow seen in Brittany on May 5, 2006. A fogbow is forming like a rainbow. The sunlight reflects in the fog droplets, but thoses droplets are much more smaller than the raindrops: about hundredths millimeters for the fog instead of about one millimeter for the rain. Thus, the diffraction in the fog droplets is leading, then the colors are refracted under angles between 30 and 45* around the antisolar point (at the opposite of the Sun). Then the colors mixe and one can see a white light bow, with sometime blue in the interior and red in the exterior, larger than a rainbo$

$Iridescent clouds - Iridescent clouds - When parts of a cloud are very thin and contain water droplets of the same size, the diffraction of the solar light that passes through them can cause colour comparable to those of crowns. We are talking about iridescent or iridescent clouds. Irization is caused by diffraction of sunlight by small droplets in high altitude clouds$

Noctulescent clouds - Noctilucent clouds - Noctilucent clouds, very high altitude clouds, photographs in July 2009 in Russia. These rare clouds are called noctilucent or “” night shining” as they seem to glow in the dark. They are caused by ice crystals at about 80 km altitude. These crystals reflect sunlight when the sun is well below the horizon. They are properly known as polar mesospheric clouds and are under intense study as it remains a mystery as to how they are formed. Image taken in july 2009 in Russia
