Count the rare phenomena, there are white rainbows.

When charged particles flow from the sun into the earth's magnetic field, southern lights and northern lights will appear in the upper air near the north and south poles of the earth respectively. The ribbon, arc and radial light curtain in the air painted dreamy and gorgeous colors for the dark winter night, with different shapes and beautiful scenery, as if to pull people into an unknown and wonderful world.

When sunlight passes through cirrostratus, it is reflected or refracted by ice crystals, and dispersed into colored apertures in different directions and colors, with the sun as the center. The inner layer is red and the outer layer is purple, forming the illusion of a light ring around the sun. Halos often appear in spring and summer and can be seen anywhere in the world.

Frost flowers on the water surface are prickly and most often appear in the polar regions. When the water surface is extremely calm and the underwater temperature is higher than that in the air, the frost will slowly "grow" out of the water surface. The frost flowers in Lake Quxielu in Hokkaido, Japan are very famous. It is a miracle to see the frost flowers on the sparkling water in the morning sunshine. Frost flowers on plants are even more amazing!

"If the moon changes color, there will be disaster." In the west, some people also associate the red moon with the transformation of werewolves. But in fact, this red moon is just a natural phenomenon called blood moon, which usually occurs during the total lunar eclipse. When the thick atmosphere absorbs all the purple, blue, green and yellow light, only red light passes through, and we will see the red moon hanging in the sky.

The unfathomable ocean world has always been a mysterious and desirable place. In addition to the magical weather phenomena we can see in the sky, there are also strange natural phenomena on the seabed. At the bottom of the earth's poles, there is an extremely rare but very dangerous phenomenon-death icicles.

Fire whirlwind, also known as flame whirlwind, is not difficult to imagine its horrible appearance from its name. The huge vertical vortex like a tornado formed by the flame moves in the air, as if the flame from hell is approaching you. Fire whirlwinds mostly occur in forests and bushes. Because there is a fire source or extremely dry fire in the forest, when the fire is blown by the surging wind, it will form a rare phenomenon of rotating to heaven, and a small fire will develop into a raging fire.

Svalbard Islands, located in the Arctic Ocean, is the northernmost part of Norway. Every year from late April to late August, it is a good time to watch the extreme day. Extreme day is formed by the revolution of the earth around the sun and the intersection of yellow and red. Around the vernal equinox in the first half of each year, the earth's axis slowly began to tilt towards the sun, and extreme daylight began to appear near the North Pole.

In addition to fire tornadoes, there are waterspouts on the water, also known as waterspouts and water-absorbing dragons. This strong vortex phenomenon is like a tornado on the water. Because its upper end is connected with thunderstorm clouds, it is often accompanied by strong winds, heavy hail and strong lightning.

In 2007, the phenomenon of cappuccino beach appeared in Yamba, New South Wales, Australia. In the past, the clear blue sea water turned into white bubbles, as if someone had poured milk and coffee into the sea and then stirred it wildly with a small spoon. In fact, these foams are composed of impurities in water, mainly salt, chemicals, rotten fish and dead plants.

This is the fire rainbow called "flat arc around the earth", which is claimed to be the most beautiful existence in all halo images. Mixed with clouds, it smells like colorful auspicious clouds. Due to the harsh reasons for its formation, the fire rainbow is extremely rare and is the lifelong pursuit of many photographers.

The rain flag is actually just a kind of precipitation in the cloud. It is just that the raindrops meet the hot air formed by compression before landing, and then evaporate, so they form a silky overhang at the bottom of the cloud. If it is windy at this time, the wind will also blow the rain flag into an arc.

The dusty wind suspected of a tornado looks like a small yellow tornado. When the local temperature rises strongly, it will push the air upward in the form of vortex, thus forming vortex in the storm near the ground. This vortex is usually several meters in diameter, but its duration is often only a few minutes.

When there is enough moisture in the air, the direct sunlight forms a rainbow in the air, while the moon rainbow is a rainbow produced by moonlight, which can only be seen at night, so it is also called night rainbow. Because the brightness of moonlight is much darker than that of the sun, and it also needs the cooperation of the weather, the moon rainbow is rarer, darker and smaller than the daytime rainbow.

Clouds like freshly squeezed cream also appeared over kamchatka peninsula volcano in eastern Russia. This is a Leiyun-like cloud, usually located at an altitude of more than 700 meters. It is often said that it makes the whole sky full of mystery and science fiction like an alien spaceship landing on the top of a mountain.

This fleeting phenomenon is caused by the refraction of sunlight. When sunlight passes through the earth's atmosphere, the atmosphere will refract sunlight and divide it into different colors, which is similar to a prism that divides sunlight into rainbows. Different wavelengths will show different colors. Shorter wavelengths will show blue, purple and green, while longer wavelengths will reflect yellow, orange and red. In a few seconds when the sun sets or rises above the horizon, the green light is most obvious, thus forming the phenomenon of sunshine.

Sea smoke produced by the interaction of cold and warm air is a kind of weather that can often be seen in the Arctic and Antarctic. Smoking on the water is like steam from a hot bath.

Bai Hong, also known as fog rainbow, is a weather phenomenon similar to rainbow. Sunlight is reflected and refracted by water molecules, but the refraction effect is different from that of rainbow because it appears in fog instead of rain.

When a volcano erupts, a forest fire or an atomic bomb explodes, because the temperature is too high, in a relatively small area, a strong hot airflow rising at a high speed forms convection below it, which will form a towering and huge fire cumulus cloud. The "mushroom cloud" produced by the explosion of nuclear weapons is a kind of fire cumulus cloud.
