Atmospheric phenomena refer to various weather-related events and conditions that occur in the Earth's atmosphere. These include phenomena such as clouds, rain, thunderstorms, and hurricanes. Each of these events is influenced by factors like temperature, humidity, and air pressure, which interact to create different weather patterns.
Some atmospheric phenomena are visually striking, such as rainbows and auroras. A rainbow forms when sunlight refracts and reflects in water droplets, creating a spectrum of colors. Auroras, on the other hand, are caused by charged particles from the sun interacting with the Earth's magnetic field, resulting in beautiful displays of light in the sky, particularly near the poles.
