What Is a Rainbow?

A rainbow is a natural phenomenon that occurs when sunlight passes through raindrops, bending and separating into different colors. This creates the beautiful, colorful arc we see in the sky after a rain shower. Rainbows appear opposite the sun, often in the morning or late afternoon when light conditions are just right.

The Colors of the Rainbow

Rainbows always follow the same color order, known as ROYGBIV:

🌈 Red – The first and longest wavelength of visible light.
🧡 Orange – A mix of red and yellow, seen clearly in bright rainbows.
💛 Yellow – One of the brightest and most noticeable colors in the arc.
💚 Green – The middle of the rainbow, representing balance in the spectrum.
💙 Blue – A calming color seen near the edge of the rainbow.
💜 Indigo – A deep, rich color between blue and violet.
💜 Violet – The shortest wavelength of visible light, appearing last in the spectrum.

Fun Facts About Rainbows

🌦 Double Rainbows Exist! – Sometimes, a second rainbow forms above the first, with the colors reversed.

🌍 Rainbows Can Be Seen Anywhere – As long as there is sunlight and rain, rainbows can appear anywhere in the world!

🌊 Rainbows Can Form Over Waterfalls – Mist from waterfalls, like Niagara Falls, can create permanent rainbows on sunny days.

✈ Circular Rainbows Are Real – Pilots sometimes see full-circle rainbows from high in the sky!

⏳ Rainbows Don’t Have a Physical End – The “end” of a rainbow is an illusion, as it moves with the observer’s position.
