What are Sundogs?
Sundogs are bright areas on either side of the sun usually superimposed onto
an ice halo. Sundogs are bright areas on either side of the sun usually
superimposed onto an ice Sundogs are bright areas on either side of the sun
usually superimposed onto an ice halo. Sundogs are also known as mock suns
but they are more properly called parhelia.
How are sundogs formed?
Sundogs are formed when sunlight is refracted by 22 degrees through the flat
plates of hexagonal ice crystals. The observer then sees two apparent
images of the sun approximately 22 degrees on either side.
When and where is it best to see sundogs?
Sundogs can be seen when the sun is close to the horizon and the air is
filled with ice crystals or when cirrus clouds are present in the sky. They
are occasionally observed in places that are permanently covered in snow or
ice, such as the Artic, Antarctic, and high mountainous regions.
