Frozen rain and half snow, tourists frozen moss slippery. - "Three Caves" Su Shi (Song)
Hello! Hello everyone ~ here is a small potato on the low pier, usually like to write some of the no, today we talk about some fantastic atmospheric phenomena.

The atmosphere can be divided into tropospheres, stratospheres, mesospheres, warm layers and escape layers by height. Humans live in the troposphere of 0 to 16 km above the ground. Tropospheric air quality accounts for about 75% of the atmosphere, and the upward and downward flow between air constantly rubs to form turbulent flow, precisely because the tropospheric air is unstable, thunderstorms, fog, ice and snow and other weather phenomena are occurring in the troposphere. Usually the weather forecast appears in the weather forecast, such as sunny, cloudy, rainy, snow and so on are very common weather, and today we will briefly take stock of some more fantastic atmospheric phenomena.
Layering of the atmosphere
1. Ball lightning
Remember "Hello! When "Li Huanying" was released, Jia Ling threatened to lose into a lightning bolt after the box office exceeded 3 billion. In fact, lightning is not only the more slender linear and chain lightning that we usually see, but also a kind of lightning called ball lightning.
Ball lightning is commonly known as rolling mines, and in addition to the common orange and red, there are yellow, purple, blue, bright white, and dark green, which is a very rare weather phenomenon. Ball lightning bolts range in diameter from 15 to 40 centimeters, but some people say they have seen ball lightning bolts with a diameter of 1 to 2 centimeters and 5 to 10 meters in size. The formation of ball lightning has not yet been explained by scientists. But the most famous of these are two theories, one is that ball lightning may be a blob of ions of little density, and the other is that matter on the ground generates an induced charge.

Ball lightning is a very dangerous weather, and in this world it usually lasts for a few seconds, and some even for several minutes. Ball lightning will float in the air, but also fall to the ground and roll, at any time may explode to destroy house trees and harm humans. It is said that once a person encounters a ball lightning explosion, it will disappear instantly, and there is no body wreckage after the explosion, as if it has never appeared in this world. But the place where he once lived will continue to show traces of his life.

As a reminder, when you find a glowing ball in the sky or a ball lightning rolling on the ground, be sure to stay away from the ball lightning.
Second, the rain glaze
Compared to the ball lightning mentioned earlier, the rain is a less rare extreme weather. However, compared with the common rain and snow, rain and frost are still quite a rare weather phenomenon. Hey, I mentioned it because the little potato seeds had seen it.
A rainstone is a layer of glass-like ice that forms when super-cooled precipitation encounters an object whose surface reaches the freezing point of water. Rain glaze is commonly known as tree hanging, crystal clear ice layer creates a fantasy scenery, rain glazing can be said to be all things can be rock sugar gourd, very beautiful.

On the mainland, rain glazing usually occurs in the southern regions. Rain is beautiful, but it is a catastrophic weather. A large amount of ice is attached to the tree, the tree can not bear the huge weight, and the branches become brittle by the action of the ice layer, the wind blows, the trunk and branches of the tree are easily broken, which may destroy the house and vehicles and hurt pedestrians.

When the rain glaze appears, you should try to avoid being outdoors, if you are outside, drive slowly and pay attention to non-slip, and pedestrians should try to avoid being in places with many trees.
3. Red Elves
The Red Genie is a high-altitude atmospheric discharge phenomenon that accompanies thunderstorms. The upper part of the red elf is red, and the bottom gradually turns blue, because it floats in the air like a fairy tale elf, so it is called a red elf. It is about five to ten kilometers wide, flashes when it appears, can last for about ten to a hundred milliseconds, and is fleeting like lightning.
Red Sprites
The appearance of red elves is rare and the duration of their appearance is short, which makes scientists elusive, so the study of red elves is still a very popular field.
The last time the red genie appeared on the mainland was in May 2021 in Guizhou. At that time, some people also took a video, which can be said to be very fantastic, and interested friends can go to search.
