A "sundog" is a meteorological phenomenon that occurs when ice crystals in the atmosphere refract sunlight, creating bright spots or patches of light on either side of the sun. Sundogs are typically seen when the sun is low on the horizon, often during cold weather when ice crystals are present in high-altitude cirrus clouds.
