When humid air moves over a mountain, it forms lenticular clouds, which resemble waves. Moisture condenses into distinctive, lens-shaped clouds as the air rises and cools. Rayleigh scattering, which scatters shorter wavelengths of light (blue and green) more efficiently than longer wavelengths (red and orange), is the cause of the dramatic coloring at sunrise or sunset.
