Have You Ever Encountered a FALSE SUNRISE?! #science #nature #mysterious

fascinating optical phenomenon where the sky appears to brighten as if the sun is rising, but the actual sunrise has not yet occurred. This effect can be caused by light refraction in the atmosphere, especially in cold regions, where ice crystals in the air bend sunlight to create an illusion of the sun or its glow before it's truly above the horizon. Another form of false dawn is caused by zodiacal light, a faint, triangular glow on the horizon caused by sunlight scattering off dust particles in space, visible just before sunrise or after sunset.
