Because of all the colours of sunlight. There are loads of red photons, but they
contain much less energy. Whereas blue photons, though there are much less
of them, they contain lots of energy. That is why plant's leaves are green, to
collect the green photons. There are a fair amount of them and the contain
enough energy to survive on!
Voila!
But I have a question ... If the plant collects the green photons, then how come
the leaves look green after the plant has sucked all the green photons out of the
light that hits it ? And if the plant doesn't keep any of the other light except the
green, then how come we don't see any of the other colors after they hit the plant
and bounce off of it ?
Well, the leaves are green so that they can collect the green photons. It's quite
simple! If they collected blue photons, they would be blue! And if they collected
red photons then they'd be red!
If you put a glass prism in the sunlight, it breaks the sunlight into its colours! But
to our eyes the sunlight appears white. Hope that has answered your question!
Sorry. I don't buy it. We see the color that the object reflects, and we don't see
the color that it absorbs. Things that absorb red don't look red, and things that
look yellow don't absorb yellow. An object that absorbs everything looks black,
not white.

What is a rainbow mean?

Are rainbows always in the east?
Rainbows are not always in the east; their position depends on the angle of the sun and the observer's location on Earth. Rainbows are generally seen in the direction opposite the sun, so if the sun is in the west, the rainbow will be in the east.
Why do rainbows disappear?
Rainbows disappear when the water droplets in the air evaporate or move out of the sunlight's path, causing the sunlight to no longer be refracted and reflected to create the rainbow. Rainbows can also disappear when the angle between the observer, the sun, and the raindrops changes.
What is a double rainbow meaning?
It is when there are two rainbows on a place rather than so above one rainbow is another therefore double rainbow
Is a double rainbow real?
Yes, a double rainbow is real and occurs when light is reflected twice inside a raindrop, creating a secondary rainbow outside the primary one. The colors in the secondary rainbow are inverted compared to the primary rainbow.
