About

    Atmospheric optics is a branch of science that studies how light interacts with the Earth's atmosphere. It includes the study of phenomena such as rainbows, halos, mirages, and atmospheric pollution. Researchers in this field use a combination of experimental observations, mathematical models, and computer simulations to understand the behavior of light in the atmosphere and how it creates various optical effects. Atmospheric optics is an important area of research for meteorology, astronomy, pollution monitoring, and other fields that rely on understanding how light travels through the atmosphere.
