 Fogbow over Sebago Lake, Maine

   July 11, 2022


    Fogbow 041522 Betty 2

   Photographer:  John Stetson

   Summary Authors:  John Stetson;  Jim Foster

   My trusty pooch and I observed this alluring  fogbow over Sebago
   Lake, Maine, on the morning of April 15, 2022. Fogbows occur when light
   (sunlight, moonlight, streetlights, etc.) interacts with  cloud
   droplets that are approximately 10 to more than 100 times smaller than
   a raindrop. Because these droplets are tiny, any coloration is wan. As
   with  rainbows, in order to see these inconspicuous bows, the Sun
   must be  at the observers back (180 degrees from the fogbow itself)
   even if it's hidden from view.
