 We bet you haven’t seen this phenomenon! It’s a white rainbow, also called a fog bow that appears when it’s fog. It can be seen when it’s fog if there are small drops of water in the air and the sun shines. Standing with your back at the sun, you may see a fog bow. This rare phenomenon can also appear during the night when the moon is bright, thus getting the name moonbow!
