       A funnel cloud is shown, but inside what appears to be a wider funnel   
       cloud. A blue sky with a few white clouds is seen in the background,   
           while flat plains are seen in the foreground. Please see the   
                    explanation for more detailed information.

      Explanation: Could there be a tornado inside another tornado? In   
      general, no. OK, but could there be a tornado inside a wider dust   
      devil? No again, for one reason because tornados comes down from the   
      sky, but dust devils rise up from the ground. What is pictured is a   
      landspout, an unusual type of tornado known to occur on the edge of a   
      violent thunderstorm. The featured landspout was imaged and identified   
      in Kansas, USA, in June 2019 by an experienced storm chaser. The real   
      tornado is in the center, and the outer sheath was possibly created by   
      large dust particles thrown out from the central tornado. So far, the   
      only planet known to create tornados is Earth, although tornado-like   
      activity has been found on the Sun and dust devils are common on Mars.
