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 2, French, - gloire

Si, dans la basse atmosphère, quelque chose, comme une colline ou un nuage, bloque une partie de la lumière solaire, on voit alors apparaître ce qui reste de lumière comme des rayons. Ceux-ci, intensifiés par la diffusion de la lumière dans l'air situé entre l'obstacle et l'observateur semblent diverger directement du soleil. On les appelle rayons crépusculaires ou échelle de Jacob en Angleterre. Ils peuvent apparaître autant au lever qu'au coucher du soleil, lorsque celui-ci est bas à l'horizon ou même sous l'horizon. On peut voir de tels rayons surtout quand l'atmosphère contient assez de particules de poussière ou de brume de sorte que la lumière solaire des régions sans ombre est diffusée directement vers l'observateur. En réalité, ces rayons sont parallèles, mais à cause de l'effet de parallaxe, on dirait qu'ils convergent vers le soleil. Cet effet rappelle les rails d’un chemin de fer qui semblent converger quand on les regarde au loin. La couleur de ces rayons est souvent dans les teintes de rouge ou jaune, tout simplement parce que le bleu a déjà été diffusé par les molécules d’air. 2, record 8, French, - rayon%20cr%C3%A9pusculaire
