It's another beautiful natural phenomenon. The sun appears to have many children. Hmmm .... what about you?
In the video, the sun was shining with the heat and see a bright line through the circle of the sun on both sides. Right in a circular line that there is "extra solar" as many as four units.The phenomenon is seen in the video?Whether the world will soon collapse and hit our heads? Or there are four other planets are moving closer to earth?
The answer to both questions is: No!The above phenomenon was remarkable and certainly rare. However, this phenomenon is actually the atmospheric phenomenon that has been well known in the world of science. The name of this phenomenon is Sun Dog that looks simultaneously with Parhelic Circle.
Sometimes, sometimes called the twin phenomena of the sun.Let me explain.The
phenomenon of Sun Dog (Sundog) which is sometimes also called Parhelion
is a phenomenon when we can see a collection of additional light on
both sides of the sun. Sometimes, a collection of light can look like balls of light that makes us think this is an additional sun.
Harbin City, 14 November 2007 - Sun Dog that looks like a sun twin
If you look at the photo above, surely you understand why this phenomenon called a Sun Dog. "Sun added" it looks like a sweet dog who sits next to his master, the sun.This phenomenon occurs only in very rare atmospheric conditions. So, if you can see, think of yourself as a very lucky person.So, what causes this phenomenon happen?I admit, there is no easy way to explain the occurrence of an optical illusion in the atmosphere. Therefore I will not dwell width and torment you with the theory that long.Tell
you what, Sun Dog occurs when sunlight shines through a collection of
hexagonal plate ice crystals are arranged horizontally across the sky
causing the light was deflected by a minimum 22-degree angle.
This process can be likened to the process of creating a rainbow formed by sunlight shining on the water droplets in the air.This phenomenon can occur anywhere and anytime. However, he will be more easily seen when the sun is at a lower position on the Horizon (at sunrise or sunset).At sunrise, the sun will rise higher, Sun Dog will shift from the point of 22 degrees. When the sun becomes higher, Sun Dog was gone.Sun Dog is generally colored red when he is at the closest distance from the sun. When he was getting away from the sun, the color will change to blue lead.

Then, what is meant by Parhelic Circle?Parhelic Circle is a white curved lines that penetrate the sun. We can see it clearly on the tape over. Although often only seen a piece, sometimes, the curved lines, which can form a perfect circle in the sky..
Parhelic Circle over head the dead sea,, march 7, 2007 - Parhelic forming a perfect circle
Just as the Sun Dog, Parhelic Circle also formed because of sunlight that is deflected by hexagonal ice crystals. However,
if we are to get the Sun Dog must have a horizontal hexagonal ice
crystals, then to get Parhelic Circle, hexagonal ice crystals it must be
in vertical or nearly vertical position.
Sun
Dog phenomenon can sometimes be seen without Parhelic Circle as seen on
the Sun Dog in the city of Harbin in the above, but also can be seen
along Parhelic Circle as recorded in the video above.If they join, then we get a silent orchestra in the sky.
