When the sun is unusually high and the temperature is hot, sometimes a circumhorizontal arc like this one forms—which was immortalized by Lynn Suckow one summer afternoon. Photo courtesy of Lynn Suckow via Flickr.com

The circumhorizontal arcThe arc isn't a rainbow in the traditional sense—it is caused by light passing through wispy, high-altitude cirrus clouds. The sight occurs only when the sun is very high in the sky (more than 58° above the horizon). What's more, the hexagonal ice crystals that make up cirrus clouds must be shaped like thick plates with their faces parallel to the ground.
When light enters through a vertical side face of such an ice crystal and leaves from the bottom face, it refracts, or bends, in the same way that light passes through a prism. If a cirrus's crystals are aligned just right, the whole cloud lights up in a spectrum of colors.
