What are some of the best rare natural phenomena that occur on Earth?

1. Aurora borealis (Northern Lights)

A preety impressive light show that looks like alien spaceships are beaming our Earth for our evolution.

2. Lenticular Clouds

They look like a Japanese medieval castle, in layers forming a pyramid.

3. Bioluminescence

The property of a living organism to emit light photons. Preety cool to cut the electricity bill down.

4. Supercell

The look like an artificial man made weapon but are really huge storms characterized by the presence of a mesocyclone: a deep, persistently rotating updraft.

5. Volcanic Lightning

It looks straight from a video game but is a weather phenomenon that is related to the production of lightning in a volcanic plume

6. Fire Rainbows

Sometimes the Phoenix birds exist in real life too.

7. Mammatus Clouds

Mammatus is a meteorological term applied to a cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of a cloud. So, basically you have a bunch of cells hanging from the ceiling.

8. Light Pillars

Light pillars appear when artificial light or natural light bounces off the facets of flat ice crystals wafting relatively close to the ground

9. Morning Glory Clouds

You have the ocean, in the sky. The Morning Glory cloud is a rare meteorological phenomenon consisting of a low-level atmospheric solitary wave and associated cloud.

10. Colored Mountains (Zhangye Landforms)

Mother Earth is an artist. Layers of different colored sandstone and minerals were pressed together over 24 million years and then buckled up by tectonic plates.

11. Sun Dog

Sun dogs are an atmospheric phenomenon that consists of a pair of bright spots on either side on the Sun, often co-occurring with a luminous ring known as a 22° halo

12. Desert Rose

I have always thought that Sting’s Desert Rose was poetical and not real. Desert rose is the colloquial name given to rose-like formations of crystal clusters ofgypsum or baryte which include abundant sand grains.
