Ice crystals in Earth's atmosphere sometimes align just right to create various striking visual effects, from a halo around ...

Moonlight's colour varies. It depends on Earth's atmosphere. The Moon reflects sunlight. Atmospheric particles scatter light. This creates orange or red hues. Lunar eclipses cause 'blood moons'.

Rare clouds that form in summer high up in the Earth's atmosphere have been seen from parts of Scotland.BBC Weather Watchers who were up from between about 02:00 to 06:00 on Tuesday spotted the ...

What color is moonlight typically, and what other colors can moonlight look like from our perspective on Earth?

Researchers have developed a novel method to detect and study how ice forms in mixed-phase clouds, significantly boosting scientists' ability to forecast weather and model climate change.

In clouds in the mid-to upper atmosphere where temperatures are between 32 and minus 36 F (0 to minus 38 C), ice crystals normally form around mineral dust particles from dry soils or biological ...

Well, according to researchers, Earth ice is made up of orderly lattice crystal designs. These all showcase the six-fold symmetry of snowflakes in the underlying structure.

MIKE MOSS SAYS: Bill, Rings around the moon can be caused by ice crystals or by small water droplets in clouds that are shallow enough to allow the moon to be seen behind them, and the ring size ...

In the decades since CLAW, researchers like Thornton have observed the ocean eject biological particles into the atmosphere directly. These aerosols drift upward and collect ice crystals. Waves ...
