Iridescence in Clouds

The video explains iridescence, a phenomenon where light is scattered by small particles like water droplets, ice crystals, or pollen, creating colorful displays in clouds and other objects. It describes how the size of these particles and the sun's angle affect the colors and brightness. Iridescence is also seen in soap bubbles and gasoline on wet pavement. The video highlights that natural iridescence is more common in thin clouds near the sun and encourages viewers to observe it safely.
