On appelle «photométéore» les phénomènes optiques tels que l'arc-en-ciel, les halos, les couronnes et toutes leurs variantes. Ces phénomènes sont dus principalement à la réflexion ou à la réfraction de la lumière du soleil ou de la lune, soit par des gouttes d'eau, soit par des cristaux de glace à l'intérieur des nuages. 3, record 2, French, - photom%C3%A9t%C3%A9ore
