Crown flash is a meteorological phenomenon that occurs when sunlight is refracted by water droplets in a cloud, typically just as the sun is setting or rising. It can create a bright, colorful ring or halo around the sun, often resembling a crown, which is where the name "crown flash" comes from. This effect can be enhanced by the presence of ice crystals or other atmospheric conditions that contribute to refraction and dispersion of light.
