Let's Learn About Rainbows!
Have you ever seen a colorful rainbow in the sky after it rains? 🌦️✨
📌 TL;DR: Have you ever seen a colorful rainbow in the sky after it rains? 🌦️✨ Rainbows appear when sunlight shines through tiny water droplets in the air. When light passes through water, it bends.
Rainbows appear when sunlight shines through tiny water droplets in the air.
When light passes through water, it bends.
This bending of light is called refraction.
The light then spreads out into different colors — red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet! 🌈
You can try this at home using a glass of water and a flashlight. Shine the light through the water onto a white wall and look closely — you might see tiny rainbow colors!
🤩 Fun Fact
Rainbows are actually full circles — but from the ground, we usually only see half of them!
