2. Sun dog - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_dog

   A sun dog (or sundog) or mock sun, also called a parhelion[ 1] (plural parhelia) in atmospheric science, is an atmospheric optical phenomenon that consists of a bright spot to one or both sides of the Sun. Two sun dogs often flank the Sun within a 22° halo . The sun dog is a member of the family of halos caused by the refraction of sunlight by ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_(optical_phenomenon)

   A halo (from Ancient Greek ἅλως (hálōs) 'threshing floor, disk') [ 1] is an optical phenomenon produced by light (typically from the Sun or Moon) interacting with ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. Halos can have many forms, ranging from colored or white rings to arcs and spots in the sky.

4. Crown flash - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_flash

   Crown flash. Crown flash is a rarely observed meteorological phenomenon caused by the effect of atmospheric electrical fluctuations on the alignment of ice crystals. It has been described as "the brightening of a thunderhead crown followed by the appearance of aurora-like streamers emanating into the clear atmosphere". [ 1]

5. Arizona Sundogs - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_Sundogs

   The team name, Sundogs, refers to an atmospheric phenomenon primarily associated with the reflection of sunlight by small ice crystals in cirrus clouds, resulting in what appears to be two suns in the sky. The Sundogs' primary 'S' logo makes reference to this occurrence with large and small starbursts. The Sundogs served as an affiliate for the ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_arc

   Tangent arcs are a type of halo, an atmospheric optical phenomenon, which appears above and below the observed Sun or Moon, tangent to the 22° halo. To produce these arcs, rod-shaped hexagonal ice crystals need to have their long axis aligned horizontally. [2]
