What are Rainbow Clouds?

Rainbow clouds are formed when sunlight passes through ice crystals or small water droplets in clouds, creating a rainbow-like effect in the sky. But this is different from a regular rainbow, which is formed when light passes through raindrops.

Why is this Event Rare?

According to scientists, rainbow clouds are rare because they require very special atmospheric conditions, such as newly formed clouds and sunlight at dawn or dusk.

Rainbow clouds can be seen in other countries, not just Indonesia and Yemen. For example, a similar event was seen in Malaysia last month.
