parhelion
Polish translation:
Słońce poboczne
English term
parhelion
Actually, this engine's helpful occultation of the Sun allowed for a crisp, clean view of not only the parhelion but a portion of a 22 degree solar halo and the a parhelic circle (extended tail of the sundog). (epod.usra.edu)
Sometimes, the Sunset is along with two colored luminous apparitions more or less contrasted. Located on the border of the halo located at 22 degrees of the Sun, on the right and on the left of it, they are called "parhelions" or more frequently "sundogs". (pixheaven.net)
The parhelia had been displaying arcs all day, sometimes quite lengthy ones. In this picture, the parhelic arc is rather short, but it's clear that the parhelion hasn't yet quite connected with the 22 degree halo. The sun was still too high. (flickr)

Proposed translations
Słońce poboczne
Słońca poboczne są jednym z najczęściej obserwowanych typów halo. Powstają one w wyniku załamania się promieni słonecznych na kryształach lodu w formie sześciokątnych płytek, opadających płaskimi powierzchniami do dołu (w sposób podobny do opadania liści). (Wikipedia)
