A is for... Atmosphere! A #sundog is an atmospheric optical phenomenon that consists of a bright spot or small rainbow on one or both sides of the Sun, in line with the horizon. They are caused by the refraction of sunlight on high ice crystals in the atmosphere, and are typically seen near sunrise or sunset, especially if the sun is shining through a cloudy spot.
