The subparhelic circle is an optical phenomenon related to atmospheric optics. It is an imaginary circle that lies horizontally around the horizon, occurring at the same altitude as the sun, but below it. This circle is part of the broader family of halos that result from the refraction and reflection of sunlight or moonlight by ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere, particularly in cirrus or cirrostratus clouds.
