   The Earth Science Picture of the Day (EPOD) highlights the diverse processes   
   and phenomena which shape our planet and our lives. EPOD will collect and   
   archive photos, imagery, graphics, and artwork with short explanatory   
   captions and links exemplifying features within the Earth system. The

      Summary Author:  Marco Meniero   
      
      When bows form in fog or mist, the  cloud droplets are so small,   
      (smaller than about 0.5 mm in diameter) that their familiar arch   
       appears whitish and is usually inconspicuous. The  fogbow   
      (sometimes called a cloudbow) takes on the same angular dimensions and   
      the same luminous intensity as that of the  secondary rainbow. Like   
      with  rainbows, to see a cloudbow you must look in the  opposite   
      direction of the Sun. Both photos taken from Viterbo Airport, Italy, on   
      April 25, 2022.
