Une ou plusieurs séries d'anneaux colorés vus par un observateur autour de son ombre portée sur un nuage constitué principalement par de nombreuses petites gouttelettes d'eau, ou sur du brouillard ou, mais très rarement, sur de la rosée. 2, record 1, French, - gloire

La gloire est un phénomène rare et il faut être en altitude, notamment en avion, pour apercevoir le phénomène. Il s'agit en fait d'une série d'anneaux colorés qui se forment autour de l'ombre de l'avion projetée sur les nuages environnants. La disposition des couleurs est toujours la même : rouge à l'extérieur, violet à l'intérieur. Le phénomène est dû à la diffraction et la réflexion de la lumière solaire sur les gouttes d'eau des nuages. En certaines circonstances, les gloires peuvent se former autour de l'ombre de l'observateur, elle-même projetée sur les brouillards ou les nuages à proximité. 3, record 1, French, - gloire
