    However, meteorologists said the phenomenon known as halo phenomenon is natural around the world.

    It is already a subject of interest on social networks. Ghanaian Facebookers are asking reasons behind it in the midst of their excitement.

    “Solar halo is wats happenin in de sky,” she asked.

    “Really i doubt if its a rainbow ,just one of the antics of God, definately we will get the scientific definition for it,” @Princess Anna-Marian Ayeley Ardayfio commented on someone’s status.

    @Peace Naa Adei stated on her profile: “The sun is so beautiful!”

    A halo also known as a nimbus, icebow or Gloriole is an optical phenomenon produced by ice crystals creating colored or white arcs and spots in the sky.
