First of all, we need to understand that the phenomenon of the "four suns" is not really multiple suns appearing at the same time, but an optical illusion known as the "solar halo". Solar halos usually occur in the atmosphere of ice crystals in cold regions or high mountain areas. When the sun's rays pass through these ice crystals, they are refracted and reflected, creating an illusion that makes the sun appear to be sple. This phenomenon is known in astronomy as a "false sun".
Specifically, when the sun's rays pass through the atmosphere of ice crystals, they are transmitted, reflected, and refracted to create one or more rings of light. And this halo just covers the sun itself, so that there are many sun-like bright spots around the sun, forming the illusion of "four suns".
To better understand this phenomenon, we can illustrate it with a simple analogy. Imagine that when we look at an object above the surface of the water in the water, we will see that the object appears to be positioned higher than it actually is due to the refraction of light rays on the surface of the water. The principle of solar halo is similar, except that light is refracted and reflected by the atmosphere of ice crystals.
So, should Hou Yi go to work because of the "four suns"? The answer is very simple: of course he should go to work! Because the "four suns" are just an illusion, but in fact there is only one sun, and it is functioning normally. While this phenomenon is wonderful, it does not have a substantial impact on human daily life.
