    Splendid Sundog over Montreal, Canada

      Summary Author:  Raymond Murphy;  Jim Foster   
      
      Featured above is a colorful, right  sundog (parhelion) as observed   
      from near Montreal, Quebec on the morning of November 26, 2022. You can   
      tell it’s on the right side of the Sun because with  halos the red   
      color is nearest the solar disk, unlike with rainbows. Sundogs are one   
      of the most commonly observed optical phenomena. Look for them some   
      22-degrees away from the Sun, at the same solar altitude, whenever   
       cirrus clouds (composed of  ice crystals) are in the sky. Note   
      that the puffy cloud in the foreground is a  cumulus type cloud --   
      composed of water droplets. The "tail" of this sundog is actually a   
      portion of the  parhelic circle. Always  be careful when looking   
      anywhere in the vicinity of the Sun.
