It takes the form of a ring with a radius of approximately 22 degrees around the sun or the moon.According to the UK-based Atmospheric Optics, a knowledge-sharing website, 22 degree halos are visible all over the world and throughout the year. Halos are formed whenever the sky is wisped or hazed with thin cirrus clouds. These clouds are cold and contain ice crystals in even the hottest climes.A few hours after sun halo, parts of Hyderabad and surrounding districts received rains.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
