How are rainbows formed?
Correct answer: Refraction of light from the sun
YSL
"Diffraction is the dispersion of white light into its spectral colors. When light passes through a prism, it is divided into its component colors". it seems there are two correct answers.

a sign of God's promise to never flood the world again!

it is both refraction and reflection. The water drops are spheres the rainbow is a result of 'total internal refraction' . it happens at an angle such that the refraction , angle change, at the first surface means that at the back of the sphere the light is reflected back. Then refracted as it leaves the spherical water droplet.

There is no pot of gold at the end of it, unfortunately 😔

Longest answer wins. Would have been a little harder if they left off the end.

Bigkev, I believe the scientific explanation without question however, every explanation about the rainbow I’ve ever read or heard stops before they try to explain why it appears in a bow shape.

Last week there was a rainbow shining over the entire length of our house. Absolutely beautiful.

Spudie, I think it represents the acceptance of things that are different than the norm. No proof, just my thoughts.

I was thinking 🤔 but they don't gave me much time I was knowing the ans very easy question ⁉️

7th grade science, but it never ceases to awe and please me to see ordinary white light transformed into a beautiful array of colors, ROYGBIV!

rainbiw are unique because a rainbow is based on the orientation of the observer (you) and the light source (the sun), when you move, the rainbow will move, too. 2. You can see a circular rainbow from the sky. While you're on the ground, you can only observe the classic semi-circular rainbow (hence the word 'bow').

NicPicCan, frrr

Bigkev, still floods happen that's not true

Bigkev, I'm afraid of what God has in mind next time I think it's coming soon

Rainbows 🌈 are one of my favourite natural phenomena 💚

Yes Tom. And that is why rainbows always come in pairs one brighter than the other. This is also why rainbows aren’t really bows, they are in complete circles. We just seem that different angles. Rain drops round, thus rainbows also circular. Look it up.

From an airplane I saw a rainbow in a complete circle. it does not need to be raining. I see rainbows when I'm spray misting my garden.

Bigkev, AMEN PREACH IT!!!. WHEN I see a rainbow I think God is peeved. How did it become used by the Gay & lmnop etc ,community as their symbol?

That’s a sign of a covenant God made with Noah. After all the flood.

Last year and this year I saw a lot of rainbows. I like rain. I prefer over hot and windy weather. In the Bible a rainbow was God’s promise to Noah he would not flood the earth again.

NicPicCan, I wish there was aswell 😪
MrDJ
Fizky,It's God's promise to never flood the world again
MrDJ
Bigkev, Yep do you believe in god?
Fizky
refraction of light ...I love how rainbow 🌈 are formed this sceptical
Deeksha
I love to see rainbow and in love those colors
Blah blah blah
Horrible question, where else would light come from??

Kiara , actually, the only one that is obviously wrong is electricity
yatz23
NicPicCan, you can't reach the end of it, meaning that there might be a CHEST(corrected).

Tom, massive W to this guy over here
Miguel
and 8 notes also!
Miguel
the rainbow had 7 colors

Always look for a rainbow if it’s raining and the sun is shining.

Oh even I don't know about this
