Decoding the sun halo appearing in many places, netizens are sharing enthusiastically

Be careful when observing solar halos.

Experts say that the solar halo is an interesting phenomenon, with many different names such as: solar halo, solar flare, halo sun, solar canopy...

Be careful when viewing and photographing solar halos, however. Looking directly at the sun without the proper equipment can cause serious damage to your eyes. Never look directly at the sun, even if it appears less bright through clouds or fog.

As reported, Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan, former head of the Ho Chi Minh City Amateur Astronomy Club (HAAC), said that this phenomenon often occurs when many cirrostratus clouds appear in the upper atmosphere. These clouds are a sign of atmospheric disturbances and sudden weather changes.

According to Mr. Tuan, the continuous appearance of solar flares in Vietnamese provinces and cities in recent days is not an unusual phenomenon, as this phenomenon is often seen during the rainy and stormy season.
