During our astronomical observations at the school's observatory, we discovered that clouds reflect the light spots from the Kinmen Bridge. We considered whether we could deduce the cloud height from the reflection position. Combining this with weather data, we found that the light spot position changes with cloud height. Based on our observations, most light spots appear closer to the western horizon, indicating lower cloud positions.
