Fire Rainbows or circumhorizontal arc is another type of rainbow which we witness from time to time. This phenomenon happens in the sky when the sun is higher than 58°. The other reason for this occurrence is thin and feathery cirrus clouds emerging in higher altitudes. The temperature should be low for this breath-taking scenario to happen. So, they are made from ice crystals. When it’s aligned optimally, the crystals act as a prism and reflect the reminiscent of a rainbow.
There is a misconception that this type of rainbows is rare. The truth is, these rainbows occur depending on the location of a particular latitude. In the United States, Fire Rainbows are common to see, especially in summer. But when it comes to Middle and Northern Europe, this becomes quite rare to spot.
