A rainbow forms when sunlight shines on water in the atmosphere.
True, or more correctly, when the sunlight is refracted through the water droplets.
The sunlight hits the glass of water and then the light disperses out as a spectrum of colour (rainbow). This is because sunlight is white light and white light contains the 7 colours of the rainbow. When it hits the glass the colours refract and disperse out as the spectrum of colours, which we see as a rainbow.
It is physically impossible to reach the end of a rainbow. But in fairy tale stories you may come across people finding it. Especially in Ireland with the legend of the leprechaun. Hope this helps.
Yes, a rainbow is a natural light phenomenon that occurs when sunlight is refracted, reflected, and dispersed in water droplets in the Earth's atmosphere.

A rainbow forms when sunlight is dispersed and reflected by water droplets in the atmosphere.
True. A rainbow is a natural optical phenomenon that occurs when sunlight shines onto water droplets in the air, causing the sunlight to be refracted, reflected, and dispersed into a spectrum of colors.
A rainbow
True, or more correctly, when the sunlight is refracted through the water droplets.
The white light from a rainbow is a result of sunlight being dispersed and refracted by water droplets in the atmosphere. Each water droplet acts like a prism, breaking down sunlight into its component colors, and when the light is reflected and refracted multiple times within the droplet, we see the colors of the rainbow.
Rain and Sunlight: A rainbow occurs when sunlight shines through water droplets in the atmosphere, usually after rain. The sunlight is refracted (bent) as it enters the droplet, then reflected off the inside surface of the droplet, and finally refracted again as it exits the droplet. This process splits the light into its different colors, creating the rainbow.
A rainbow is formed when sunlight is refracted, or bent, and reflected inside raindrops. The sunlight is then dispersed into its spectrum of colors, creating the familiar arc of colors we see in the sky after a rain shower.
The colorful arch in the sky is called a rainbow. It forms when sunlight is refracted, dispersed, and reflected in water droplets, resulting in a spectrum of colors. Typically, a rainbow appears after rain when the sun shines through the moisture in the atmosphere. The primary colors of a rainbow are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
The sunlight has to be refracted by water drops in order for the sunlight to form a rainbow.
The water acts like a prism and white light shines through it, it makes a rainbow.
You can't see a rainbow when the day is dry and only after it rains because when the sun starts coming out and its still raining, the sun shines on the water and just like a mirror the sunlight shines and bounces off making a rainbow like it had been painted by God in the sky. That is why you can't see rainbows when the sun is shining and with no rain.
Right after a thunderstorm, there will still be some water droplets in the sky. When the sunlight shines on these water droplets, the white light that is reflected off the water droplets is split into seven different colours: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, indigo.
