like it’s using beams of light to break through a wall of clouds?Those trails of light are called crepuscular rays, and they’re actually pretty common.If you look at the sky on a partly cloudy day, especially if it’s around dawn or dusk,odds are you’ll see those rays for yourself -- though you probably won’t see any inspirational quotes floating in the air.Crepuscular rays happen when sunlight passes through air with a bunch of stuff in it.Sunlight is always bouncing off of stuff in the air, but the way it bounces depends on what it’s hitting.Nitrogen in the air, for example, scatters the bluer parts of the sun’s light -- which is why the sky is blue. crepuscular rays happen when sunlight hits bigger particles, like dust and water -- which bounce all the light’s colors pretty much equally.And when we see all the colors of light at once, we call that white light, which is why a lot of crepuscular rays look white.Sometimes the rays don’t look white, which just means that the light hitting them wasn’t white to begin with.
