Solar Halo Appears Over Vidarbha, Creating Curiosity

Solar Halo Appears Over Vidarbha, Creating Curiosity

Imagine a giant ring around the sun!

That's a solar halo.

It's like a colorful, bright circle, and it happens when sunlight passes through tiny ice crystals high up in the sky, in special clouds.

The sunlight bends and spreads out, making the ring.

It's similar to how a prism works, creating the colors you see.

Sometimes, these halos can also tell us about the weather; they might show that a storm is coming, just like a heads-up from the sky.

It is different from rainbows, which need raindrops, halos need ice crystals!
