Sunspot Mirage, Green Flash and Inversion Layer. During sunset, a distinct green flash occurs when the Sun passes through the temperature inversion layer. If there are sunspots at this time, a sunspot mirage will appear. On January 30, 2023, while witnessing a sunset on Taiwan's Hehuan Mountain, the sunspot mirage and green flash appeared in succession. After comparing these photos side by side, it's clear that the sunspot mirage and green flash both appear on the same horizontal line. These horizontal lines represent the position of the temperature inversion layer in the atmosphere.
