nice shot of the 22 degree halo around the Sun!

I was reading that if the planet Jupiter were as close to us as the Moon is... it would appear to be approximately the same size as this Sun halo.

Sort:  

That’s huge!

apparently Jupiter is is exactly 1/10th the diameter of the Sun... while the earth is just a hair under 1/10th the diameter of Jupiter.
