[QUOTE="pdqdl, post: 5029638, member: 22041"] Not quite right. It is a sun halo, only the horizontal component of which is visible. A sun halo is caused by sunlight reflecting off ice crystals. A sun dog is only a very specialized version of a sun halo caused by the condition of the ice crystals causing the effect. Best pic of sun halos I have ever seen: [url]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/30/HALO-S_south_pole.jpg[/url] It has just about all the variations in one picture. [/QUOTE]
