A couple of years ago I was working on a job where streets were being painted with their yellow and white striping. While the paint was still wet, someone lightly sprinkled tiny glass beads on it so that the stripes would be reflective at night.

I turns out that the glass beads also were refractive in daylight, and displayed the most beautiful, 10-foot-wide "rain"bows that you could want.

Is a rainbow got gold at the end of rainbow?

No .The mythology associated with a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow was perpetuated by the Leprechaun's themselves. Back around 6000 years ago a Leprechaun from what is now know as West Cork in Ireland was captured by a Celt who refused to let him go unless he was told where the Leprechauns kept their gold. The Leprechauns companions created a false trail and hid a small amount of gold at a point where through their magical qualities they created a Rainbow without sun or rain -he end of which fell at the point where the gold was buried. When the Celt began to dig he came across a small piece of gold and is excitement he let the Leprechaun go. This started the myth and it passed down through the generations So its true to say wherever you see a rainbow now that there is no pot of gold of it. In fact the gold is anywhere except there and thats what keeps it safe.


Can there be a rainbow at night?

Rainbow at Night?It is extremely rare, but it is possible if there's a full moon and rain. Because moonlight is weaker than daylight, the rainbow will be much fainter. AnswerYes! I've seen one! It is truly incredible, and as said above, it was on a full moon with scattered showered. Beautiful! I assume that it's not so rare with an English climate. Just get up early/stay up late every full or near full moon when there are risk of showers (virtually every day). The first and only time I saw a full arc I instinctively knew it would be possible five minutes before, and just searched for it. As said above, very beautiful in a 'it's so grey but there are colours as well' trippy sort of way! You got to see one once in your life at least, so brave those winter mornings...I've seen one at night during a thunderstorm. It was around 3 a.m. and there was lightning striking near the Susquehanna River. The combination of lightning and rain made the rainbow.In Hawai'i, on the Big Island, Heading out of Kona it is a common thing to see. I have seen a double arc, and It made my grandmother cry. But Night rainbows are nice. (As said 3 times now!)
