Why did I get 2 Suns?

This is a different picture from the same batch shot at ISO 400, f22, 1/13 of a second and at 105 mm with a Canon 80D and Canon 24 - 105 L I lens.

Hard to tell from that shot, but I'd say it's got to be the clouds splitting the sun just enough to make it look really cool.
You do have a lot of sensor dust, but that wouldn't cause that.

If you have a light source behind a opaque mask with multiple pinhole openings each pinhole will create an image of the light source. With a single pinhole you can create a pinole camera. In nature this phenomena can be seen during a solar eclipse when the light passes through tree leaves which act as little apertures forming multiple images of the eclipse in the shade on the ground. As one of the responders mentioned, when looking at a total solar eclipse just seconds before totality you can witness an effect known as Baily’s beads. The diamond ring is usually the first and last Baily’s bead. These light pearls form when the sunlight passes between valley’s on the limb of the moon.
In your photo multiple suns are likely forming in the same way as described above. The cause is likely located at or even beyond your local horizon where multiple, dense cumulus clouds are forming in rows. These clouds would be opaque to the sun and usually form along waves of alternating ascending and descending air. Where the air ascends you have a cumulus cloud and where the air descends a clear opening creating row(s) of clouds with clear spaces between them. Optically, this is the pinhole mask that forms multiple images of the sun. This is probably the best explanation of the phenomena you photographed. If this is true you should have been able to multiple suns with your naked eye (provided you can resolve or sepetate them). Depending on the lens, and the lens opening, the camera can sometimes see more than the eye.

Treepusher would have a better explanation on this. Somehow the all knowing Madame P and the other witches have some power over the sun, moon and our minds that cause the double suns. Don't worry. That condition will subside once they stop casting their spells on your camera.

I took pictures during sunset at Long Beach NY with a Canon 80D and Canon 24-105 L Lens. for some unknown reason, in a run of pictures there seems to be a double sun. Was wondering if this was due to refraction in the lens?
Keep it. Interesting shot

I wasn't quite sure what people were talking about with the clouds. Thank you for making it clear.
