A rainbow is one of natureβs most beautiful sights π β a colorful arc that appears in the sky after it rains. But what causes this magical glow of colors? Letβs explore! πͺ
Rainbows happen when sunlight and rain meet. π¦οΈ When the Sun βοΈ shines on raindrops π§ still floating in the air, something amazing happens:
The light bends (called refraction) as it enters the raindrop.Then it reflects off the inside of the drop like a tiny mirror.Finally, it bends again as it leaves the drop, splitting the light into different colors. πThis process separates white sunlight into seven colors:
β€οΈ Red
π§‘ Orange
π Yellow
π Green
π Blue
π Indigo
π Violet
Together, they form a bright arc in the sky β the rainbow! π¦οΈ
You can only see a rainbow when the Sun is behind you and the rain is in front of you. π€οΈ Thatβs why rainbows often appear just after a rain shower. Sometimes, if the light reflects twice inside raindrops, you can even see a double rainbow! ππ
Rainbows are also symbols of hope, happiness, and peace π β a reminder that sunshine always follows rain. πβ‘οΈπ¦οΈ
So next time you see one, take a moment to smile π β because youβre watching sunlight, rain, and nature working together to paint the sky. π¨βοΈ
