Dear all
I read somewhere ages ago that the ancients called these sun rays
'crepuscular rays' because they saw them diverging up from the horizon
after sunset or before sunrise which seems odd because they are not as
common as beams coming out from behind a cumulus or the ones shining
through floccus clouds.
When explaining to people about crespucular rays, I very rarely use the
term, anyway and quite often refer to them as sunbeams or sunrays, or just
simply rays. I only use 'crespucular rays' for reports, etc.
What would you then call anti-crepuscular rays?
Regards
Kevin
