Statistics: The most amazing natural illusion

The glow of the upper layers of the atmospheres of planets with a magnetosphere due to their interaction with charged particles of the solar wind

The illusion is created in the water due to sand runoff and silt deposits.

A special feature of some clouds is the pronounced wavy structures in their lower part, which, combined with the heterogeneous thickness and illumination, can make clouds intimidating

Every year in February, if the weather is suitable and there is a lot of melting snow, the setting sun illuminates the Horsetail Waterfall, and it seems as if a stream of fire or lava breaks down from the edge of the cliff

It occurs due to the refraction of sunlight in ice crystals floating in the atmosphere.

The bed of the Colorado River, due to the play of light and shadow, it seems that the river flows along the top of the ridge.

It occurs when several alternating layers of air of different densities are formed in the lower layers of the atmosphere (usually due to temperature differences), capable of giving mirror reflections.

This phenomenon looks like a bright rainbow at the zenith, and is observed when the Sun is no higher than 32 degrees above the horizon.

The coloration of this butterfly forms two snake heads on its back

The continuous striped sea destroys our ability to detect the boundaries of objects. This is how two-headed and many-bodied zebra monsters appear

A rare type of cloud that has an unusual and intimidating appearance.

Convective clouds are well developed vertically in the form of a dense mass with a dark gray or black base, under which precipitation bands are visible.

It is a rather rare natural phenomenon. Such clouds form on the crests of air waves or between two layers of air.

An optical illusion that consists in the fact that the moon appears several times larger low above the horizon than when it is high in the sky

The height here is no more than a meter

A man moving along the shore seems ready to fall into the abyss. However, he calmly walks along the flat surface of the riverbank.

Leaky clouds are so named for the breaks in the clouds, which seem to be made by a giant hole punch.

An optical phenomenon, a flash of green light at the moment of the disappearance of the solar disk beyond the horizon (usually the sea) or its appearance from beyond the horizon.

Waste from the Spanish mining industry flowing along the Rio Tinto River.

an atmospheric, optical and meteorological phenomenon observed when illuminated by a bright light source of many water droplets.

Huge arrays of red stone with admixtures of other colors most resemble waves frozen on land. They were created over millions of years.

Lower mirages occur mainly in cases when the air layers near the surface of the Earth (for example, in the desert) are heated so much that the rays of light coming from objects are strongly curved

This is not a drawing, but a real photo! It was made in Namibia. An orange dune, colored by the morning sun, and acacia trees gnawed by camels.

They are formed due to the high amplitude of tides in shallow waters, due to the formation of strong currents.

Each droplet hung beautifully on the thin strands of the web

The result of the interaction of charged particles of the solar wind with the atmosphere

The inner part is covered with a 28 m thick layer of table salt. During the rainy season, the salt marsh is covered with a thin layer of water and turns into the world's largest mirror surface.

Several factors affect the color.Temperature, volume of water masses, refraction of rays, salt concentration.

The Google Earth system has revealed in the relief of the earth's surface the mysterious profile of a stone stranger, one of the most expressive portraits created by nature.

The phenomenon can be observed in conditions of mountain fog or clouds, or even from an airplane.

A rock on the French island of Ebian, which looks like an Indian's head.

At this point, cars with the ignition off are driving uphill themselves.There are 2 versions.First, the hill emits magnetic waves.Secondly, the phenomenon is only the result of an optical illusion due to a hidden horizon
