yes.the rainbow is formed by water droplets acting as a prism, and the prism shows the color spectrum in ORDER
And you can get what's called a double rainbow. In that, the order of colors in the outer arc will be reversed. The colours in order are, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. :)

Does the amount of moisture in the air affects the order of the colors in a rainbow?
No, the colors are always in the same order.
Why the colors rainbow are always arranged in the same order.?
The colors of visible light are arranged in order from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength. Red has the shortest, and violet the longest, and the other colors fall in between.Infrared radiation lies just below red on the electromagnetic spectrum, and ultraviolet lies just above violet.
What happens when the colors of the rainbow mix?
The mixing primary colors of pigment is when they are added together, fewer colors of light are reflected and were absorbed, but the mixing primary colors of light is when two of the same amounts of light combined together to form a color of white. If they are not at the same amount of light, then the colors it formed will be the secondary colors.
Do rainbows appear in the same place on different days?
If you are in the same place, the rainbow will always appear in the same place because it all has to do with the angle you are at in relation to the sun (42 degrees - see the related link). So if you are always in the same spot (e.g. at your desk at work), the sun will be coming from the same same angle, creating the rainbow in the same spot. My understanding of what I've read, you'll only see a rainbow in a certain place in the sky from the same spot at a certain time of the year because the sun moves depending on the season. Also, it is not only the angle of the sun but also the height of it that has to be the same.
Why are the colors of the rainbow always in the same order?
One View: Because all of the colors are put by their charge Another View: What our eyes see as light is actually called "Electromagnetic Radiation". The energy emitted by a light source behaves like a wave as it travels through space. These waves have different lengths. We perceive these different wavelengths as different colors. What we see as "white light" is actually a combination of lights of different wavelengths/colors. The light from our sun is one example of a white light source. Passing light through a prism splits it, through a process know as refraction, into it's component colors. In the case of rainbows, the prisms are droplets of water suspended in the air. Light bends as it enters and exits the prism. Shorter wavelengths are bend more, longer wavelengths are bent less, causing them fan out in the familiar color pattern: Red (760-620 nm) Orange (620-590 nm) Yellow (590-570 nm) Green (570-495 nm) Blue (495-476 nm) Indigo (475-450 nm) Violet (450-380 nm) The elementary particle of electromagnetic radiation is called a photon. Photons have no mass and no electrical charge. Therefore, it is incorrect to refer to them as being arranged by their charge. You could say they are arranged according to the charge of the source that emitted them, but that's just a long way of saying "They're arranged by wavelength."
Does the amount of moisture in the air affects the order of the colors in a rainbow?
No, the colors are always in the same order.
Why is the order of the 7 colors of a rainbow always the same?
The amount by which light is bent depends on its wavelength. The colors are arranged in the order of their wavelengths.
Why do you think a rainbow is always the same order of colors?
It goes in order from highest frequency beam, violet, to lowest frequency, red.
Why do they always appear in the same order on a rainbow in the sky?
A rainbow is a natural prismatic phenom. White light, containing all colors, strikes water particles in mid-air. Just like with a prism, the light must pass thru the moisture and as it does, the light is broken down into it's different wavelengths. They are represented in order of speed from which they pass thru the moisture. The wavelengths and speed at which each respective color of light passes thru the moisture does not change, so therefore, every rainbow is always comprised of the same colors and displayed in the same order.
Do the rainbow and the spectrum have the same or opposite colors?
A rainbow is a spectrum.
Why are the colors of the rainbow those colors?
This is the same as if you had a light to a piece of glass..... the light is bended.
what is the order of the colors in a double rainbow from top to bottom?
The order of colors are 1st rainbow red-orange-yellow-green-blue-indigo-violet 2nd rainbow violet-indigo-blue-green-yellow-orange-red With a double rainbow the order of the colors are reversed. Light rays emitted by the sun are effectively parallel when they reach the earth. The rain drops are mostly all the same shape. When the sunshine in the sky with lots of raindrops, it can produce a rainbow. Double rainbows is where the sunlight bounces twice off the back interior surface of the raindrop before it re-emerges into the air. The second reflection inverts the order of the colors.
Why don't rainbows show the color pink?
When a ray of white sunlight hits drops of water (also in the forms of spray and mist), it bends and breaks the sun ray into into different colors. These colors span the entire spectrum of colors and because the spectrum of colors is always the same and always in the same order, rainbows are always the same color. The order of the colors are: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
Why the colors rainbow are always arranged in the same order.?
The colors of visible light are arranged in order from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength. Red has the shortest, and violet the longest, and the other colors fall in between.Infrared radiation lies just below red on the electromagnetic spectrum, and ultraviolet lies just above violet.
What is the order of colors of light waves?
The order of light waves is the same order as the colors of the rainbow. The order is Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. The colors are ordered based on their wavelength, with red being the longest wavelength, and Violet being the shortest. Source: http://science.hq.nasa.gov/kids/imagers/ems/visible.html
Who decided on what colors rainbows should have?
The same department of the government that decided what colors should be in sunlight, because that's where the colors in a rainbow come from.
How does rainbow wheel convert all colors to the color white?
When you see a rainbow, you see seven different colors. Well the same thing appears in a rainbow wheel. When you spin the wheel, the colors combine and mix to make the color white. It's like a recipe. You add the seven colors of the rainbow and you make a white color. I hope this is the answer that you're looking for.
