Below are some of the best-known phenomena of this type, which are usually caused by the natural influence of the atmosphere (and the chemical elements that compose it), or represent "plays of light" that can deceive or give the appearance of something that is not what it seems. These phenomena are quite beautiful and worth photographing if you have the opportunity to do so.<\/p>\n

Rainbow<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Arcoiris\"It is one of the most well-known and beautiful phenomena that occur in the sky. They occur when, during a rainy day, raindrops act as mirrors that disperse light in all directions, breaking it down and forming the rainbow. This is formed with the Sun's rays that impact the drops and are dispersed at an angle of ~138\u00ba, forming the arc; The ray of light enters the drop, refracting, then moving towards its opposite end and reflecting on its internal face, to finally refract when leaving the drop as decomposed light; Rainbows usually last up to 3 hours, and are always seen in the opposite direction from the Sun.<\/p>\n

\"Aurora\"They are phenomena produced at latitudes close to the Earth's magnetic poles, as they are produced through the interaction of the latter with the particles carried by the Sun's solar wind. When the particles reach the Earth, they impact against the molecules of the upper atmosphere and Therefore they excite (ionize) them, a fact that produces the well-known glow of the auroras. These are known as northern or southern lights, depending on the hemisphere where they are seen. Normally auroras can only be seen at latitudes above 65\u00ba (e.g. Alaska, Canada), but during periods of high solar activity (such as solar storms), they can even be seen from lower latitudes, around 40\u00ba. These phenomena can last around 1 hour, or all night if it is during a period of high activity.<\/p>\n

zodiac light<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"LuzThey are faint but significant areas of light, although not as bright as the Milky Way, extended over the horizon in a triangular shape and long after sunset. Since the glow is weak, stars can be seen through it. Zodiac light corresponds to dust particles that are spread in the shape of a disk around the Sun. Although these particles actually cover the entire sky, their presence is only evident in the plane of the horizon. Because it is seen in the ecliptic, the band where the zodiacal constellations pass, the glow receives its name.<\/p>\n

noctilucent cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"NubeThis phenomenon is characterized by appearing about 1 hour after sunset. They are silver-blue clouds with a noticeable spike or grid shape, which form at about 80 km altitude, where temperatures are below -100 \u00baC. The explanation for the formation of this strange type of "clouds that glow" in the dark is that the low amounts of water vapor at that altitude condense into meteoric dust. They are usually seen at high latitudes (between 45\u00ba and 60\u00ba) and the significant increase in their sightings is possibly due to the associated influence of environmental pollution.<\/p>\n

Parhelion<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Parhelio\"It is a phenomenon of reflection and refraction of sunlight, which occurs when it is low in the sky and there are high cirrus clouds. When light is refracted in hexagonal ice crystals, two bright spots or glows are formed on both sides of the Sun, at about 22\u00ba (this is due to the angle of refraction of the light rays); refraction is divided into the colors of the rainbow, which is why it is sometimes possible to see them in the bright spots, just as it should be noted that the parhelion only constitutes the brightest points of a halo that surrounds the Sun, but which rarely achieves look complete. Halos are formed under the same meteorological principle as parhelions.<\/p>\n

Green Thunder<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"RayoIt is a very curious phenomenon and quite difficult to observe, since certain atmospheric conditions are required. It occurs when the Sun rises or sets on a flat surface without obstacles, such as the sea, which must also be free of fog; at this moment, and because the last rays of the Sun are being refracted by the lower Earth's atmosphere from our position, producing the effect that its last rays are yellow and greenish in tone. The green ray is then seen for a few seconds, just before the Sun is about to rise or set, and therefore becomes an interesting target to try to photograph.<\/p>\n

twilight rays<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"RayosThis phenomenon occurs with clear skies, once 15 to 20 minutes have passed after sunset (or before sunrise). These rays are produced by a cloud below the horizon that is partially blocking the Sun; In this way, the rays that manage to pass through the cloud illuminate dust particles in the air, giving the appearance of rays projected towards the sky. The phenomenon has a limited duration as the Sun finishes setting or is about to rise, depending on whether it is setting or rising.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
