How Are Rainbows Formed?

            How  Are  Rainbows  Formed?

                              Intro

   Rainbows happen when sunlight and rain combine 

                      in a very specific way.

The beams of sunlight separate into the colours we see

    in the rainbow as they enter a raindrop. Sunlight is

actually made up of different colours that we don't usually 

    see. When a beam of sunlight comes down to earth,

 the light is white. But if the light beam happens to hit the

   raindrops on the way down at a certain angle, the 

different colours that make up a beam, separate so we can                 

         see them.

As you look into the sky, wavelengths of light associated 

   with a specific colour arrive at your eye. When you look

up to the sky you will also see ROYGBIV known as red,

    orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. A rainbow 

        has seven colours because water droplets in the 

     atmosphere break sunlight into seven colours.

    You can see a rainbow when the sun is located right      

           behind you.
