Subsun A subsun is an optical phenomenon that appears as a bright spot directly below the Sun. It's a type of halo, similar to a sun dog, but formed by reflection off ice crystals rather than refraction.

#subsun phenomena appears when a region of hexagonal ice crystals act as a large mirror, creating a virtual image of the Sun below the horizon. As they fall through the air, the ice forms plate crystals which orient horizontally, i.e., with their hexagonal surfaces parallel to the Earth's surface
