RAINBOW HALO AROUND THE SUN
WITH VID
BY SALONI MATHUR
Watch this breathtaking video of this unique weather phenomenon in Oahu, Hawaii.
Kaya Waldman from Kauai, Hawaii, witnessed a rainbow ring around the sun.
Kaya immediately took her phone out and recorded this rare occurrence.
This rainbow ring around the sun, known as a 22° halo or "sunbow," is an optical phenomenon caused by sunlight refracting through millions of hexagonal ice crystals in high-altitude cirrus clouds.
These crystals bend light at an angle, often creating a white or faintly coloured ring, with red on the inside and blue outside.
One follower commented on the video: “Heaven is already here on Earth.”
Another wrote: “Halos are the most beautiful things in this world.”
