   Summary Author:  Marco Meniero

   When bows form in fog or mist, the  cloud droplets are so small,
   (smaller than about 0.5 mm in diameter) that their familiar arch
    appears whitish and is usually inconspicuous. The  fogbow
   (sometimes called a cloudbow) takes on the same angular dimensions and
   the same luminous intensity as that of the  secondary rainbow. Like
   with  rainbows, to see a cloudbow you must look in the  opposite
   direction of the Sun. Both photos taken from Viterbo Airport, Italy, on
   April 25, 2022.

   Photo details: Bottom photo taken from airport tower with a fisheye
