Sun Halo over Clouds and Horizon
This atmospheric scene captures a sun halo glowing above layer after layer of clouds as the sun rises over the horizon. The sun appears in the upper corner alongside another bright sun disk surrounded by rays and a small cloud.
How Sun Halos Form in the Atmosphere
Sun halos occur when sunlight refracts through millions of hexagonal ice crystals suspended in high-altitude cirrus clouds. These optical rings usually form at a precise angle of 22 degrees around the sun. Because cirrus clouds often precede weather fronts, spotting a halo frequently signals approaching rain or snow within twenty-four hours.
Colors of a Sun Halo and the Morning Sky
- Sun disk: Brilliant white with a glowing pale yellow outer edge
- Inner edge of the halo: Soft reddish tint closest to the sun
- Outer edge of the halo: Faint bluish hue tapering into the sky
- Clouds: Deep gray near the base with bright white tops in morning light
- Sky background: Soft blue fading into warm orange near the horizon
