Rainbows are a result of sunlight shining through moisture in the air. That's why you see rainbows after it rains. The moisture makes a prism, a shape which reflects and separates the different wavelengths of light. There usually aren't rainbows in winter because the moisture freezes, and drops to the ground as snow.

Can rainbows occur in the winter?

Yes they can. I live in Canada and it is winter time. I have seen about 5 rainbows in the last 3 weeks, and the sky is always clear or cloudy, no rain or snow. From what I have found online they are quite rare but they seem to be occurring a lot here this year. Must be a sign from God.


Where can you see rainbows when it isn't raining?

You can see sundogs which come from sunlight striking clouds made of ice crystals which form in winter and in summer way up in the atmosphere. When visible, sundogs are always seen horizontally just to the right or left of the sun.


Why you wear black dress in winter and white in summer?

Being truly honest, I'm not really sure. White is always seen as a much more pure and beautiful colour and summer is thought of as pure, and beautiful month. Winter is seen as a much more cold, dark month (WHICH I DISAGREE STRONGLY WITH) and this is portrayed in the fashions which are created. Overall, the designers have the main say as to why the 'stereotype' is white=summer and black=winter Hope this helps :)

Why can't the Orion be seen in the summer?

Orion can be seen in the summer - if you live in the Southern Hemisphere. Remember, if it's Winter in the Northern Hemisphere, it's Summer in the Southern Hemisphere. By the time it's Summer in the Northern Hemisphere, our planet is on the other side of the sun. Which means that Orion is up during the day and the sunlight makes it impossible to see.

Why can't the constellation Orion be seen in the summer?

It can be seen to a point. The brightest star in the summer is Altair there for it will shine the sky. It is able to be seen only a points, I hope this has answered your question. In the summer Orion is up in the day sky, so our sun obliterates the starlight from that constellation.
