Rainbows are formed when sunlight hits water vapor in the air, usually after a rain storm. There is no particular temperature required for rainbow formation.

They are formed by water and other forms of water like mist, spray or dew interacting with sunlight. Rainbows can also be artificially formed by dispersing water droplets into the sunlight. The rainbow is formed with these interactions of water causing an infraction to produce colors

Rainbows are formed when there is mist or rain in the air. The rainbow is actually just an arc of light. The colors are formed when sunlight passes through the mist or rain. The bands of colors you see are reflections or refraction, of that light. In actuality the rainbow contains a huge amount of colors even beyond that you can see with your eye. You can detect seven colors which are blue, indigo, violet, red, yellow, orange and green. There is no particular temperature required.

Rainbows are formed after a rain or when there is mist. When there is a lot of moisture in the air (water droplets), light will hit the water droplets in the air and will bend, or refract, and we then see all the colors that our cones in our eyes see (we can only see part of the colors of the light/rainbow).

A rainbow is a colorful bow appearing in the sky when it suddenly rains on a bright sunny day.

Rainbows are formed by the reflection and refraction of light at different angles.

Rainbows can be observed whenever rain drops are present in the air and sunlight is shining behind a person at a low altitude angle.

We all have seen a rainbow occasionally in our daily lives during or immediately following a shower of rain and must have wondered the reason for this natural phenomena. Most of us, if not all, as a child must have been excited to see a rainbow in the sky and marvel at its splendid beauty and wondered where it came from. Rainbows have always fascinated humans every since the early days and as such, have been the subject of songs, poems, stories and mythology. In Norse mythology, the rainbow is the road between the worlds of gods and men. The Greeks used to believe that it was a sign from the gods to foretell war or heavy rain.
Indians believed that it was a bridge between life and dead and the Irish believed that a pot of gold lies at the end of a rainbow. It is also mentioned in the Holy Bible in The book of Genesis (Gen 9: 8-17) where the rainbow is the sign of covenant between God and all life on Earth . I’m sure some of us as adults today still have no answer to how a rainbow is formed. Today however, that will be answered by this weeks article. Now let explain this well known phenomena in steps below.

A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that causes a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere. They take the form of a multicoloured arc, with red on the outer part of the arch and violet on the inner section of the arch.
