It works the same way with moonlight, and it's usually a sign that rain is on the way, as high clouds usually precede a storm front. Sometimes the rainbow isn't in the form of a halo, but just colors that just streak across the clouds -- the ice crystals in that cloud were at just the correct angle from the sun to produce the prism effect shown here -- known as "iridescence" or "fire 1 Like |
