Answer: TRUE.

Explanation: "Glory" is an optical phenomenon caused by water droplets, consisting of concentric rings and somewhat similar to a rainbow.

The glory consists of one or more concentric, successively dimmer rings, each of which is red on the outside and bluish towards the centre.

In order to see a glory, therefore, the clouds or fog causing it must be located below the observer, in a straight line with the Sun/Moon and the observer's eye.

Colored rings appearing surrounding the shadow of an aircraft flying above a cloud is sometimes called The Glory of the Pilot.

An airplane takes off from a location at 17°S
Lilit [14]

The plane would reach a latitude of 38°N.

When it comes to lines of latitude, the Equator is 0°. Locations south of the equator increase from 0° as you go further South and those north increase from 0° as you go North.

If you therefore go from 17°S northward, the degrees of latitude will keep decreasing till you get to 0° and then start increasing as you go North.

The new location in this case will therefore be North:

= 55 - 17

= 38 °N

In conclusion, the plane will keep going North until it passes the Equator at 0° then it will keep going North till it gets to 38°N.
