Lower Light Pillar / Untere Lichtsäule
Lichtsäulen entstehen durch die Spiegelung des Sonnenlichts an hexagonalen Eisplättchen, die bei nahezu Windstille langsam absinken und sich dabei vorzugsweise horizontal in der Luft ausrichten. Sie sind deshalb nur bei entsprechend windarmen Wetterbedingungen zu beobachten. Im Gegensatz zu den verwandten Haloerscheinungen Unter- und Übersonne und der Tatsache, dass die sechseckigen Eisplättchen in ihrer horizontalen Ausrichtung wechselnde Kippwinkel aufweisen, wird ähnlich einem Glitzerpfad der Sonne auf einer leicht bewegten Wasserfläche eine Lichtsäule sichtbar. In sehr seltenen Fällen und bei sehr konstanter und geringer Luftbewegung sind auch leicht gebogene Lichtsäulen möglich.
A light pillar, or sun pillar, appears as a vertical pillar or column of light rising from the sun near sunset or sunrise, though it can appear below the sun, particularly if the observer is at a high elevation or altitude. Hexagonal plate- and column-shaped ice crystals cause the phenomenon. It is often caused by water droplets in the sky. Plate crystals generally cause pillars only when the sun is within 6 degrees of the horizon, or below it; column crystals can cause a pillar when the sun is as high as 20 degrees above the horizon. The crystals tend to orient themselves near-horizontally as they fall or float through the air, and the width and visibility of a sun pillar depends on crystal alignment.
