Fire Rainbow

FIRE RAINBOW No, it's not a painting and it wasn't photoshopped either. These are extremely rare fire rainbows. Fire rainbows, are a spectacular but extremely rare sight in the sky, caused when sunlight refracts through ice crystals in high-altitude cirrus clouds. These ice crystals need to be positioned just right to bend light, producing vivid, rainbow-like colors that arch across the sky. The term "fire rainbow" comes from the intense, flame-like colors rather than any actual fire. For a fire rainbow to appear, the Sun must be high in the sky, at least 58 degrees above the horizon, and the light needs to strike the ice crystals at a precise angle. These conditions make fire rainbows more common in summer and at mid-latitudes. When they occur, they often spread across large sections of the sky, creating a radiant, colorful display that can look almost otherworldly.
