Title: Ring around the sun
Post by: MAGhunter on June 08, 2014, 01:54:15 PM
So I was out playing baseball with my son and he says "Dad, look up at the rainbow".  It was like a complete rainbow around the sun.  I have never seen this before.  Has anyone ever seen anything like this?

A sun dog. I wonder what that really is. I was under the understanding that was kind of like a chunk of rainbow in the clouds on a day with out rain or any full rainbows. Kind of like a chunk.  :dunno: I have only heard that used once in all my life.
