Quizplus · Accepted Answer

These spots of sunlight are known as pinhole images of the Sun. When sunlight passes through small gaps between leaves, it acts similarly to light passing through a pinhole camera, projecting an image of the Sun on the ground. This phenomenon is not related to solar eclipses or the refraction of sunlight, but rather to the projection of light through small openings.
