CONCLUSION
 WHAT IS A RAINBOW?
A RAINBOW IS A NATURAL PHENOMENON THAT OCCURS WHEN SUNLIGHT AND RAIN COMBINE. IT IS AN
ARC OF COLORS THAT APPEARS IN THE SKY, TYPICALLY IN THE FORM OF A CIRCLE. RAINBOWS OCCUR
WHEN SUNLIGHT IS REFLECTED AND REFRACTED OFF OF MILLIONS OF TINY WATER DROPLETS IN THE
ATMOSPHERE.

THE COLORS OF A RAINBOW ARE TYPICALLY RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO, AND
VIOLET. THESE COLORS APPEAR IN THE SAME ORDER BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE LIGHT IS REFRACTED
AND REFLECTED OFF OF THE WATER DROPLETS.
RAINBOWS IN NATURE
• RAINBOWS ARE A COMMON NATURAL PHENOMENON AND CAN BE SEEN IN
MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD. THEY CAN BE SEEN IN THE SKY AFTER A
RAINSTORM, OR WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING ON A MISTY OR FOGGY DAY.
RAINBOWS CAN ALSO BE SEEN IN WATERFALLS, WHEN THE SUNLIGHT IS
REFRACTED AND REFLECTED OFF OF THE WATER.
• RAINBOWS CAN ALSO BE SEEN AT NIGHT, WHEN THE MOON IS FULL AND
THE AIR IS FILLED WITH TINY WATER DROPLETS. THIS PHENOMENON IS
KNOWN AS A MOONBOW, AND IS MUCH RARER THAN A REGULAR RAINBOW.
 HOW ARE RAINBOWS
CREATED?

RAINBOWS ARE CREATED WHEN SUNLIGHT IS REFRACTED AND

REFLECTED OFF OF MILLIONS OF TINY WATER DROPLETS IN THE
ATMOSPHERE. THE SUNLIGHT IS BENT AS IT PASSES THROUGH THE
WATER DROPLETS, AND THE DIFFERENT COLORS OF THE
SPECTRUM ARE SEPARATED. THE LIGHT THEN REFLECTS OFF OF
THE BACK OF THE WATER DROPLET AND IS BENT AGAIN, CREATING
THE RAINBOW.

THE RAINBOW IS SEEN WHEN THE SUNLIGHT IS REFLECTED OFF OF

THE BACK OF THE DROPLET AT AN ANGLE OF 40 TO 42 DEGREES.
THIS ANGLE IS KNOWN AS THE “ANGLE OF THE RAINBOW” AND IS
WHAT CAUSES THE COLORS OF THE RAINBOW TO APPEAR IN THE
SAME ORDER.
 CONCLUSION

RAINBOWS ARE A NATURAL PHENOMENON THAT OCCURS WHEN SUNLIGHT AND

RAIN COMBINE. THEY HAVE CAPTIVATED PEOPLE FOR CENTURIES, AND HAVE BEEN
THE SOURCE OF MANY MYTHS AND LEGENDS. SCIENTISTS HAVE STUDIED
RAINBOWS FOR CENTURIES, AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO UNDERSTAND MORE ABOUT
THE PHYSICS OF LIGHT.
RAINBOWS ARE A BEAUTIFUL AND AWE-INSPIRING SIGHT, AND CAN BE SEEN IN
MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD. WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IN THE MYTHS AND
LEGENDS OR NOT, RAINBOWS ARE A REMINDER OF THE BEAUTY OF NATURE AND
THE POWER OF LIGHT.
