Rainbows

Rainbows appear when sunlight is refracted, or bent, and then reflected inside water droplets in the air, creating a spectrum of colors. This bending and reflecting of light causes the colors to fan out and form a circular arc in the sky.

Rainbows are made up of sunlight being refracted, or bent, through water droplets in the air, such as rain. This bending of light causes the different colors of the spectrum to separate and form a circular arc in the sky.

A rainbow just appears as a semicircle but it is actually a complete circle. We just don't see the whole thing because the horizon gets in the way. Sometimes people on planes will see the entire circle with the shadow of the plane in the center.

White light is made up of a mixture of all the different colors. Light takes the form of waves and all the different colors have a different wavelength. Red light has the longest wavelength (720 nm) while violet has the shortest (380 nm). These different wavelengths can be used to explain why you see all the different colors in the rainbow. When light hits water droplets in the air, it is bent slightly - this bending is called diffraction. The amount of diffraction depends on the wavelength - Red light is bent less than blue light so when white light meets the water droplets, it is separated into all the different colors.

If you turn on a garden hose, adjust the nozzle to a fine spray and stand with your back to the sun, you will see a rainbow shining in the spray!

PRISM:

A prism separates white light into a group of seven colors called a spectrum. These seven colors are always in the same order. The colors of the spectrum are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. You can make up a name by using the first letter of each color to form a person's name. ROY G BIV Light can be reflected and bent. When light passes into the prism glass it slows down and it bends. The color red is not as bent the same way as the color violet is bent. When the colors come out of the prism, each color is bent in a different way and in a different quantity. People hang prisms from fancy lights in their homes or from windows that the sun shines through in their homes in order to fill their rooms with rainbows.

RAIN:

After it rains, there are lots and lots of water droplets in the air, around us. When the sun comes out, white light will strike all the drops of water. Each and every water drop of the millions and millions of water droplets acts just like a prism in that it separates the single strand of white light into seven colors. Sunlight enters each and every drop of water and the colors are given out as if the drop of water was a prism. This bending and reflecting happens at the same time in all the droplets of water and that is what forms the colors of the rainbow that you see after it rains.

The center of the rainbow is always on the imaginary line from the sun
through your head.

-- As the sun moves higher or lower, the center of the rainbow
must move lower or higher.

-- If you move left or right (and take your head with you),
the center of the rainbow must also move left or right.

No, it is physically impossible to reach the end of a rainbow because rainbows are actually optical phenomena that appear when light is refracted, dispersed, and reflected by water droplets in the atmosphere.

No, rainbows require water droplets and sunlight to form, which are not present in space. The colors we see in space are due to various processes such as the dispersion of light through gases and dust, or the emissions of different elements.

A rainbow shows the optical (visible) part of the electromagnetic spectrum; infrared (if you could see it) would be located just beyond the red side of the rainbow with ultraviolet appearing just beyond the violet end. The way to rembember the colors of the rainbow are Roy G Biv, meaning Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

Rainbows are not always in the east; their position depends on the angle of the sun and the observer's location on Earth. Rainbows are generally seen in the direction opposite the sun, so if the sun is in the west, the rainbow will be in the east.

Rainbows appear after a rain storm because sunlight is refracted and reflected by raindrops in the atmosphere. This causes the sunlight to separate into its different colors, creating the rainbow effect.

The rainbow has ALL of the colors in it. Little kids in the First Grade learn

seven colors, and many people never learn any more than that. But any

color that the human eye can detect is in the rainbow, whether not it

even has a name.

Black is the presense of all colors blended together. Rainbows are visible light waves, and are are the only electromagnetic waves we can see. Each color has a different wavelength. Red has the longest wave length and violet has the shortest wave length.

Rainbows are created when sunlight is refracted, or bent, as it passes through water droplets in the air. This refraction causes the sunlight to separate into its different colors, creating the spectrum of colors we see in a rainbow.

Rainbows are called that because they are the result of the refraction, dispersion, and reflection of light in water droplets in the atmosphere. This creates a spectrum of colors that resemble the shape of an arch in the sky, which people have likened to a bow.

Rainbows form when sunlight is refracted, or bent, as it passes through raindrops in the air. This refraction separates the sunlight into its different colors, creating the arc of colors that we see in a rainbow. The water droplets also reflect and internally reflect the light, enhancing the colors we see in the sky.

Rainbows are named after their distinct appearance in the sky, with a varied spectrum of colors in the shape of an arc. The term "rainbow" combines two elements: "rain," which is often present when rainbows appear, and "bow," referring to the arc-like shape of the phenomenon.

I have no idea the last person said "they move by air" which is not what the question asks

Rainbows appear after rainfall because sunlight is refracted into its individual colors by water droplets in the air, creating a spectrum of colors in the sky. The water droplets act as tiny prisms that separate the sunlight into its constituent wavelengths, resulting in the arc of colors we see as a rainbow.

You see the lepracornz need some where to hide their gold but the rich ones need more room than the poor onez cuz u no they have more so they need a dobble rainbow to store their stuff ya c bitchess?

Rainbows get their colors from the reflection, refraction, and dispersion of light in water droplets. When sunlight passes through the droplets, the light is separated into its different colors, creating the rainbow effect we see in the sky.

A rainbow forms when sunlight is refracted, reflected, and dispersed by water droplets in the air, typically after a rain shower. The different colors of the rainbow are a result of the different wavelengths of light being separated and reflected at different angles by the water droplets.

Rainbows don't have a specific distance since they are optical illusions that appear when sunlight is refracted and reflected by water droplets in the air. However, they typically appear relatively close to the observer, usually within a few kilometers.

whenever there are water droplets in the air and the sun is shining through them at a low angle. This angle is 40 - 42 degrees from the observers head. If the sun is any higher the rainbow effect will not be seen as the rainbow will be below the horizon. Secondary rainbows can occur at about 50 degrees, but the colours will be inverted

Yes, rainbows are real natural phenomena caused by the refraction, dispersion, and reflection of sunlight in water droplets in the Earth's atmosphere. When sunlight passes through water droplets in the air, it separates into its spectral colors, creating the beautiful arc of colors we see in a rainbow.

One myth about rainbows is that they are a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds, connecting earth and sky. Another myth suggests that leprechauns hide a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, luring people on a quest to find it.
