Understanding Coronas, Sun Glories, and Light Refraction Effects

This article explores the optical effects of coronas and sun glories that can be observed around the sun and moon. These phenomena are caused by water and ice crystals in the atmosphere that refract light, revealing a spectrum of colors that typically appear white to the naked eye. We also delve into how these effects manifest similarly to light refraction seen in famous album covers. Additionally, we clarify the distinctions between coronas and sun glories, demystifying these natural wonders and highlighting their beauty.
