What are the magical phenomena in nature?

The magical phenomena in nature include: rainbows, meteor showers, lightning, etc.

1. Rainbow:

Rainbows are formed by small water droplets in the sky. The small water droplets act like a prism to refract natural light, forming various monochromatic lights that appear like ribbons in the sky. It is really too beautiful. Amazing! But rainbows after rain have become increasingly rare due to the deteriorating environment and weather.

2. Meteor shower:

Whenever some well-known comets orbit close to the earth, there will be meteor showers on the earth, such as the Leonid meteor shower. First, the comet approaches the sun, receives high-energy radiation, evaporates, vaporizes, and fragments as it approaches the earth.

Affected by the gravity of the earth, the comet fragments fall towards the earth. When passing through the atmosphere, they glow and heat due to friction with the air at high speed. From the ground, you can see the "meteor shower" scene of countless comet fragments falling. But most meteor showers burn up in the atmosphere.

3. Lightning:

Storm clouds usually produce electric charges, with the bottom layer being negative electricity and the top layer being positive electricity. They also generate positive charges on the ground, which move with the clouds like a shadow. Positive charges and negative charges attract each other, but air is not a good conductor. Positive charges rush to trees, hills, the tops of tall buildings, and even the human body, trying to meet clouds with negative charges. The tentacles extend downward, getting closer to the ground as they extend downward.

Finally, the yin and yang charges finally overcome the air barrier and are connected. A huge electric current rushes from the ground to the cloud along a conductive airway, producing a bright and dazzling flash of light. A lightning bolt may be only a few thousand meters long, but can be hundreds of kilometers long.
