Diffraction of Light light bending around an object
Diffraction is the slight bending of light as it passes around the edge of an object. The amount of bending depends on the relative size of the wavelength of light to the size of the opening.
Diffraction The bending of light around objects, such as cloud and fog droplets, producing fringes of light and dark or colored bands.
Diffraction corona See corona.
Diffuse insolation Solar radiation that is scattered or reflected by atmospheric components (clouds, for example) to the Earth's surface.
DIFFRACTION
The result of light waves interfering with other after passing through a narrow aperture, causing them to bend or spread.

Diffraction - The slight bending of light as it passes sharp edges.
Diffused - Light Solar energy is scattered and reflected in the atmosphere and reaches Earth's surface in the form of diffuse blue light from the sky.
Diffraction
The "spreading" of waves into the lee of obstacles such as breakwaters by the transfer of wave energy along wave crests. Diffracted waves are lower in height than incident waves.

The color varies from blue inside to red outside and the phenomenon is attributed to diffraction of light by thin clouds or mist (distinguished from halo).

Fraunhofer diffraction theory is often used to provide an approximate description of the corona.
When the cloud is not very thick, the diffraction phenomena corona and irisation appear.
Rain and drizzle have drops much larger than the wavelength of visible light, so they will not show evident diffraction effects. They will, however, exhibit the rainbow and other reflection-refraction phenomena, as will ice crystals.
Glories are caused by diffraction in which the droplets act as a point-source reflectors.
CORONA A pastel halo around the moon or sun created by the diffraction of water droplets. The droplets in the cloud, such as cirrostratus, and the cloud layer itself must be almost perfectly uniform in order for this phenomena to occur.
Brilliant spots or borders of colors in clouds, usually red and green, caused by diffraction of light by small cloud particles. The phenomenon is usually observed in thin cirrus clouds within about 30?Ǭ?
Corona- a disk of light surrounding the sun or moon; this is a result of the diffraction of light by small water droplets.
Cyclone- a body of air in which the pressure is lower than that of the surrounding air; a low or low pressure area.
Glory: Coloured circular bands of light 2 to 10 degrees across appearing on clouds opposite the sun. Produced by diffraction of light by water droplets or ice crystals.
Iridescent Clouds: Clouds that exhibit brilliant bright spots, bands, or borders of colors, usually red and green, observed up to about 30 degrees from the sun. The coloration is due to the diffraction with small cloud particles producing the ...
Corona (optic) A series of colored rings concentrically surrounding the disk of the sun or moon. Smaller than the halo, the corona is caused by the diffraction of light around small water droplets of uniform size.
Corona: a white or colored circle or set of concentric circles of light of small radius seen around a luminous body, esp. around the sun or moon. The color varies from blue inside to red outside and the phenomenon is attributed to diffraction of ...
Rainbow
Group of concentric arcs with colors ranging from violet to red, produced on a "screen" of water drops (raindrops, droplets of drizzle or fog) in the atmosphere by refraction and diffraction of light from the Sun or Moon.
