Exploring Halos: Optical Phenomena in the Sky

The video explores Halos, an optical phenomenon in the sky, formed by sunlight interacting with ice crystals in the atmosphere. These crystals are found in cirrus and cirrostratus clouds. The video explains how light refraction through these crystals creates various Halo shapes, such as light pillars and circular Halos. Historical observations of Halos date back to Aristotle and ancient China. The video also discusses different types of Halos, including the common 22-degree Halo and the rare 46-degree Halo, as well as the bot clingers ring, which is elliptical in shape.
