Rainbow Argents in Sky Misread as Genuine Rainbows
A weather bureau representative explains that rainbow colors seen in the sky are not true rainbows but opalescent patches caused by light diffraction in thin clouds. Minute water droplets bend light waves, dulling some crests and brightening others, producing red and green hues resembling rainbows. Such iridescent effects, akin to large, pure colored coronas, occur near the sun or moon, often in late fall, and are rare but sometimes seen yearly.
