* Ice halos from ice crystals (icy haze) in the atmosphere interacting with sunlight. Lower temperatures increase the chance. Use a negative [[Weather#General settings|temperature offset]] to lower temperatures. | * Ice halos from ice crystals (icy haze) in the atmosphere interacting with sunlight.

* Sun halos: 22 degree ring around the sun. Halos occur frequently, upto a 100 days per year. | |||
* Rainbows: in rain volumes forming a 40 degree ring around the point opposite the sun (anti-solar point). Heavier downpours with larger droplet sizes makes bows more intense. | * Rainbows: in rain volumes forming a 40 degree ring around the point opposite the sun (anti-solar point).

* Aurora: A ring around both magnetic poles at all times of the year. Normally seen at latitudes above 60 degrees. Large disturbances in the magneto-sphere by solar activity can cause Auroras to be seen further towards the equator. Auroras have been seen as far away from poles as Austrian Alps/Germany(2015), Florida(1989), and even reportedly Honolulu (great solar storm of 1859). | * Aurora: A ring around both magnetic poles at all times of the year.
