We often come across rare natural events and celestial phenomena that leave us in awe. Similarly, in a video that is going viral online, we see a sun candle captured on camera by an Austrian skier. A sun candle is a rare and beautiful atmospheric optical phenomenon. It appears as if a bright, vertical column of light is extending from the sun. This happens when tiny ice crystals in the atmosphere reflect sunlight in just the right way, creating a flowing pillar-like effect. Just like a sun pillar, sun candles are most visible during sunrise or sunset when the sun is low on the horizon. Because they do not appear often, spotting one is a special experience.
