2. This phenomenon appears as colored spots of light that
develop due to the refraction of light through ice crystals.
They are located approximately 22? either to the left, right,
or on both sides, from the Sun, depending on where the ice
crystals are present. What is this phenomenon called?
5. This phenomenon occurs when sunlight interacts with tiny
water droplets or ice crystals in the atmosphere. It manifests
as a series of concentric rings of colored light surrounding the
shadow of an observer, which is often seen on clouds or mist.
What is this phenomenon called?
6. This phenomenon occurs when the Moon passes directly between
the Earth and the Sun, temporarily blocking the Sun's light.
What is this phenomenon called?
9. This phenomenon can be observed during thunderstorms, typically
on a pointed object, and is characterized by a continuous blue
or violet glow. It is caused by a discharge of electrical
energy into the air. What is this phenomenon called?

Sun is only part way up in the sky above the horizon. It must
be within what angle of the horizon for rainbows to appear?
6. This phenomenon occurs when the Moon passes directly between
the Earth and the Sun, temporarily blocking the Sun's light.
What is this phenomenon called?
7. This phenomenon appears as a ring of light that forms around
the Sun or Moon as the sunlight or moonlight refracts off
ice crystals present in a thin veil of cirrus clouds. It is
usually seen as a bright, white ring, although sometimes it
can have color. What is this phenomenon called?

2. This phenomenon appears as colored spots of light that
develop due to the refraction of light through ice crystals.
They are located approximately 22-# either to the left, right,
or on both sides, from the Sun, depending on where the ice
crystals are present. What is this phenomenon called?
3. This annual phenomenon, which occurs between mid-July and late
August, is caused by the Earth passing through the debris left
by the comet Swift-Tuttle. What is this phenomenon called?

usually seen as a bright, white ring, although sometimes it
can have color. What is this phenomenon called?
8. This phenomenon occurs as colored rings around the Moon or
Sun, though it is difficult to see around the Sun. It is caused
by diffraction of light through uniformly sized water droplets,
which causes white light to separate into color. If the water
droplets vary in size, this can cause irregular-shaped rings
and more diffuse colors. What is this phenomenon called?
9. This phenomenon can be observed during thunderstorms, typically
on a pointed object, and is characterized by a continuous blue
or violet glow. It is caused by a discharge of electrical
energy into the air. What is this phenomenon called?
10. This phenomenon appears as a shaft of light extending vertically
above the Sun, most often at sunrise or sundown. It develops
as a result of ice crystals slowly falling through the air,
reflecting the Sun's rays off of it. It typically appears when
the Sun is low on the horizon, and cirrus clouds are present.
