The aurora borealis is the interaction of solar wind plasma with Earths magnetic field. A rainbow is the refraction of light through rain drops. They are not the same phenomena.

Northern lights (Aurora borealis) and rainbows are different phenomena. Northern lights are caused by solar particles interacting with the Earth's atmosphere, creating colorful light displays primarily in polar regions. Rainbows, on the other hand, occur when sunlight is refracted, reflected, and dispersed by water droplets in the atmosphere, creating a spectrum of colors in the sky after rain.

How much time less then gravity of the moon as compare to the earth?
moon's gravity is (1/6)th of the earth's gravity
What would 1 kg weight on the moon?
Your weight is actually (1/6)th in the moon. But, KG is a unit of mass and not weight. Mass remains constant no matter where you are. So, if you're in Mars or Earth or the Moon, you mass remains the same. You weight on the other hand changes due to the force of gravity. Weight is actually the force exerted by the gravity on any substance and KG is not a unit of weight. Units of weight are Newton,Pound, etc. So if your mass is 1KG, your mass will be the same on Moon as well.

How and Why are colors dispersed in optics in a rainbow How do raindrops act as prisms Role of reflection and refraction in formation of rainbow?
Colors in a rainbow are dispersed due to the phenomenon of refraction and internal reflection within raindrops. When light enters a raindrop, it refracts, separating into its component colors. The light then reflects off the back of the drop and exits, creating the rainbow effect. This process is similar to light passing through a prism, where refraction and reflection cause the different colors to separate based on their wavelengths.
