Rainbows around the sun, also known as solar halos, are caused by sunlight interacting with ice crystals in the atmosphere. They are relatively rare but can occur under specific weather conditions, such as high-altitude cirrus clouds with ice crystals. Keep an eye out for these beautiful phenomena on a cold, clear day when the sun is at a specific angle in the sky.
