Why does this happen? 👇🏼 Iridescent clouds are a captivating meteorological phenomenon that occur when small water droplets or ice crystals within the clouds diffract sunlight. This diffraction process causes the light to spread out into various colors, much like a prism dispersing light into a rainbow. This effect leads to clouds appearing in a multitude of colors, creating a stunning visual spectacle in the sky. Iridescence is more likely to be observed in clouds that are forming or dissipating, as these conditions provide the optimal size of water droplets or ice crystals for diffracting light. The phenomenon adds a breathtaking dimension to the sky, showcasing nature's ability to create beauty through the interplay of light and atmospheric conditions.
