Could rainbows happen without rain or sun?
No, rainbows occur as a result of sunlight and raindrops. The sunlight is refracted, reflected, and dispersed by the raindrops, creating the colors we see in a rainbow. Without rain or sun, the conditions needed for a rainbow to form would not be present.
How is a Rainbow Visible?
it is when it is cloudy and warm when it starts raining you can see it but the sun has to be out shining behing the rainbow a rainbow is like rain in front of you a rainbow is made by rain and sunshine and clouds
Why rainbow is always in opposite direction of sun?
A rainbow appears in the opposite direction of the sun because the light is being refracted, reflected, and dispersed by raindrops in the atmosphere. When sunlight enters a raindrop and is refracted, it is then reflected off the back of the raindrop and dispersed, creating a rainbow that appears on the opposite side of the sky from the sun.
In what direction do you look to find a rainbow?
Light rays from the sun enter suspended raindrops in the sky after a shower. The light enters the droplets and total internal reflection occurs, and the rays are reflected outward toward the sun again. In the second ray, light is dispersed into the 7 colours that are seen as the rainbow. Thus, if the sun were behind us, we would see the effect. If the sun were in front of us, the light rays would be reflected away from us, rendering the rainbow invisible to the viewer.
Where would the sun be when there is a rainbow?
when you're looking at the rainbow, the sun will be behind you.

Is rainbow source of light?
No, a rainbow does not produce light, it is an effect of light being bent (refracted). The source of the light seen in a rainbow is the Sun.

Why can you see rainbows?
This is what i found out when i was doing some homework on rainbows: When you are looking at a rainbow, the sun is behind you and the rain will be in front of you. If the sun was in front of you then the rainbow would be behind (if it was raining). A rainbow looks like its asemicircle because when the light goes throught the water it bends twice, which means the light is going at different angles when it shines through the raindrops. A rainbow is actually circular because when the raindrop bends the light, the light leaves at an angle causing the light to move into a circle. The faintness of the rainbow relies on where the sun is. If the sun is low in the sky, the rainbow is faint.
Why is rainbow not seen when the sun is overhead?
A rainbow is formed when sunlight is refracted, reflected, and dispersed in water droplets, creating a spectrum of colors. When the sun is directly overhead, the light strikes the droplets at an angle that doesn't allow for the typical upward arc of a rainbow. Instead, the light passes through the droplets and exits without creating a visible rainbow. Therefore, rainbows are generally observed when the sun is lower in the sky, typically in the morning or late afternoon.
What conclusion can you make when you make a rainbow?
water and sun light
Why does water and sun form a rainbow?
Because the tiny particles of water in the air reflect the sunlight. The light splits and certain colours are reflected.
How is prism used to form rainbow?
they prism glints off from the sun causing a spectaculer rainbow
What are the colours of the rainbow collectively know as?
white light contains all of the colors of the rainbow, so if all of the rainbow's colors shown collectively at one point, the light would be white light (like the sun's light).
What type of landform is the rainbow bridge?
it is the landform that has a rainbow and it is reflected to the sun's light and cloud's brisky fog
How rainbows form?
When the sun is out and it is raining a rainbow occurs.
Why do rainbows have color?
the light from the sun refracts or bends and forms a rainbow
