What is a halo?

A halo is a spectacular optical effect that appears in the disk around the Sun or Moon, surrounded by a contrasting ring on its outer periphery. Although it is commonly found in Antarctica, Alaska, Greenland, northern Scandinavia, and the boreal regions of Russia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, it is also found in tropical countries such as Bolivia, Paraguay, and Argentina. , Venezuela, Guatemala, Colombia, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Peru, Panama, Mexico and others.

A halo can occur anywhere under the right atmospheric conditions. For example, it can be seen outside the polar regions, in areas where storms form or when the weather is adverse. Even in temperate zones, atmospheric winds containing light clouds crystallized by cooling, such as cirostratus clouds, can produce this phenomenon.

Although the light seen in Bariloche has not been confirmed as a halo, it is known that the formation of this phenomenon is caused by the refraction of light by ice particles suspended in the troposphere, creating a spectrum of colors around the Moon or Sun.

The halo is usually variegated, with shades of red on the inside and green and light blue on the outside, sometimes looking like a full rainbow.

Halos are white or pale rings. Earth’s atmosphere forms around luminous images of the Sun or Moon (and on other planets with atmospheres).
