Fogbows, also known as white rainbows, ghost rainbows, or cloud bows, are basically made of the same thing as regular rainbows, only with the difference that this one doesn’t include a multitude of colors.

The rainbow occurs after the air is filled with raindrops, and always in the direction opposite the sun. Unlike a regular rainbow though, the fogbow appears white due to the presence of fog droplets.
