Moonbow less common, only visible at night when the moon is at a low point during the full moon until the nearly full moon. One popular place to look is at the waterfall Moonbow Cumberland in Kentucky USA.

Mirage occurs when light biases and produce an image of an object or the sky but it was not there. This phenomenon usually occurs on hot surfaces, such as asphalt roads or desert sand.

The Venus Belt / Belt of Venus is a phenomenon that appears in the dusty twilight time when a set of red and brown sky appeared between the sky and horizon.

4. Noctilucent Cloud / cloud Noctilucent

Noctilucent clouds are very high clouds in the atmosphere refract the light at dusk when the sun had sunk, illuminates / illuminate the sky with a light source that is not visible.

5. Aurora Borealis

In the southern hemisphere is also known as the Aurora Australis, Aurora Borealis is electrically charged particles from the sun which has reached the top of the earth's atmosphere and become very active. Aurora usually often seen in areas near the poles and at the time when day and night equal in length.

6. Mammatus Clouds / Clouds Mammatus

Weird cloud shapes that are often associated with storms, and can not fully understand how clouds are formed.

7. Fire Whirls / Fire Whirls

Fire whirls / vortex tornado spinning fire is too close to the forest fire or a vortex is formed because there is too much heat in the area.

8. Pyrocumulus Clouds / Cloud Pyrocumulus

Cloud Pyrocumulus is another phenomenon associated with the heat that builds up because of widespread and intense heat from a region that forms clouds comulus. Volcanoes, forest fires, and nuclear explosions (in the form of clouds mushrom) is the main cause of pyrocumulus clouds.

9. Sun Pillars / Sun Pillar

Sun Pillars / pillars of the sun occurs when the sun is sinking high reflective ice clouds at different layers. This results in high light pillars soaring to the sky. very likely also to watch the moon pillar or pillars of the month.

10. Virga

Virga is a phenomenon that occurs when ice crystals in clouds fall, but evaporate before touching the ground. Virga appears like a tail / trail of clouds that reach the soil surface, sometimes forming a cloud like a jellyfish.

11.Katabatic Winds / Cloud Katabatic

This is the wind that carries dense air from a higher place to lower place due to gravity. Katabatic Winds known locally as the santa ana (southern california), mistral (Mediterranean), Bora (Adriatic sea) Oroshi (Japan), Pitaraq (Greenland), and wailliwaw (Tierra del Fuego). Williwaw and winds that move over the Antarctic is usually harmless, blowing with a speed of 100 knots.

12. Fire Rainbow / Rainbow Fire

Fire rainbow is a very rare phenomenon that appears only when the sun is high which makes its rays pass through the high cirrus clouds containing ice crystals.

13. Green Ray

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d2/Big_green_flash.JPG/800px-Big_green_flash.JPG
Also known as the Green Flash. This phenomenon appears very briefly before the sun completely submerged and after sunrise. This phenomenon appears as a flash / green light above the sun that goes very fast, usually only a few moments. This occurs because the refraction of light in the atmosphere.

14. Linghning Ball / Ball Lightning

This is a very rare phenomenon involving lightning / lightning-shaped ball that moves more slowly than normal lightning. It has been reported of ball lightning is by 8 feet and can cause severe damage. There are reports that the ball lightning destroyed the whole building.
