It is already known to all Venezuelans that in Maracaibo the sun hits the inhabitants of the area with more intensity, but today the sun had a different aspect than usual, it was surrounded by a rainbow and the area within the circle had a dark color very different from the outside area.
Cuando pienso en los factores que influyen para que este fenomeno pueda ser visible de inmediato se que es algo local, es decir, el sol puede verse rodeado por ese arcoiris en una When I think of the factors that influence this phenomenon to be immediately visible I know that it is something local, that is, the sun can be surrounded by that rainbow in a specific area, the components that make the rainbow possible are within the Earth's atmosphere but the sun is not and therefore it is a mistake to believe that the sun is literally surrounded by a rainbow in which case it would be visible from anywhere.
But instead it is seen only from a specific point and although I do not understand at a scientific level the factors that influence to give rise to this phenomenon if I know that it is something uncommon, beautiful, worth observing and when looking at it is impossible not to think of how marvelous it is God who makes all this possible.
For a rainbow to exist there must be moisture and sunlight, generally rainbows are formed in rainy climates and we find in the Bible that are the sign of the covenant between God and Noah so that the earth is not destroyed by another flood, however God refers to the rainbow as "my bow", so it is associated with the majesty of God.
But today, in spite of not having a rainy climate, on the contrary, one could see in the sky a big and beautiful rainbow surrounding the sun, but at a certain distance from the sun, another one that did not surround the sun but still adorned the sky simultaneously.
Although now that I think about it the one that appears when the sky is cloudy always has the shape of a rainbow, so rainbow is a name based on the geometric figure that forms the colorful line, if we see it that way the one that God used as a covenant with Noah and that happens to appear only when the sky threatens with rain is the one that has the shape of a rainbow, then those that were seen today were in the shape of a circle and a curve although I still don't know how and why they are formed I decided to share it with you!
