Rainbows

Mid-morning if there's moisture

Rainbows usually last for a very few hours about 2 to 6 hours.

Because the angle of the Sun in relation to the viewer must be within a specific range.

A rainbow is not formed by a specific number of raindrops, but rather by countless individual droplets of water in the atmosphere. When sunlight passes through these droplets, it refracts, reflects, and disperses, creating the spectrum of colors we see in a rainbow. Each droplet contributes to the overall effect, so it takes millions of raindrops to form a complete rainbow.

The colors in the rainbow in oder are Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet

I was not aware that indigo had been downgraded, and is no longer to be mentioned
in a recitation of the rainbow. Thank you for the update.

The truth is that every color that the human eye can perceive is in the rainbow. In principle,
there are an infinite number of them, although the eye can't distinguish between two different
colors if the ratio of their wavelengths is too close to 1.

Since there are such a huge number of colors in the rainbow, any recitation of the colors is
a compromise. In principle, the majority of them have no names.

When the beam hits the front it of something like a prism again & again & emerges from the drop of rain water we see the color spectrum that's in a rainbow. The water drop acts like a prism to separate the light into its different wave lengths.

The number of rainbows observed in a year can vary significantly depending on the climate and weather patterns of a specific location. In areas with frequent rain and sunshine, such as tropical regions, multiple rainbows can appear throughout the year. Conversely, in drier climates, rainbows may be much less common. On average, some places might see a few dozen rainbows annually, while others may only witness a handful.

You don't have to be a scientist to observe the rainbow. The rainbow
was already well known by the time of Noah and the flood.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.

Depends when the rain ends

The sun refleing off the water

-- The rainbow you see is a part of a circle.

-- The center of the circle is on the line from the sun through your head.

-- The radius of the circle is 86 degrees.

-- The higher in the sky the sun is, the lower underground the center of the circle is,
and the less of the circle is above ground where you can see it.

===========================================

-- Also, in order to see a rainbow, the sun must be in clear sky, whereas there must be
water droplets in the air in the direction where you see any colors. The chances of a
setup like this are much better when the sun is low in the sky.

You don't. You see it when sunlight traveling away from you enters a raindrop, bounces off
the far inside of it, and comes back out traveling toward you.

The reason is that different wavelengths of light bend through very slightly different angles
when they enter or leave the raindrop.

So, if light with a mixture of different wavelengths goes in, then the different wavelengths
will come out in slightly different directions, and you'll see them spread out.

In order to see a rainbow, you must have the sun behind you in clear sky, and rain or heavy mist in the air in front of you. If it's raining on you, then most likely the sun is not in clear sky behind you, and you can't see very far in front of you.

Rainbows are always found in a place where there is rain in one direction and sunshine in the opposite direction.

Rainbows are really an effect of the light when the conditions are right.

The different colours are all reflections bouncing off of the water droplets

in the air. As they aren't solid, they will not be affected by the wind.

If you want to try making one, switch on a hose in your yard with a spraying

nozzle on the end. Stand with your back to the sun and spray water into the

air in front of you and slightly to the side, and you will see a rainbow!

ALL rainbows are round. That is, the part of it that you see is part of a circle.

If you mean a rainbow that's a complete circle, that's possible if you're up in

an airplane looking down, or on top of a mounain looking down into a valley.

Just like every other rainbow, the sun must be behind you, and the air in front

of you must be full of water droplets.

Rainbow Greenhouses was created in 1985.

Nana Mizuki Live Rainbow at Budokan was created on 2005-04-06.

yes because like when you have a sprinkler on it creates a mini rainbow and after it rains some of the moister is still in the air that creates a rainbow that's why rainbows are always out after it rains.

Monochrome Rainbow was created on 2011-10-26.
