Re: [Phys-L] White Rainbow!

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fog_bow
A fog bow, sometimes called a white rainbow, is a similar phenomenon to a
rainbow <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow>; however, as its name
suggests, it appears as a bow in fog <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fog> rather
than rain <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain>. Because of the very small
size of water droplets that cause fog—smaller than 0.05 millimeters
(0.0020 in)—the fog bow has only very weak colors, with a red outer edge
and bluish inner edge.
