Formation of Rainbows
Rainbows are formed when white sunlight hits raindrops and undergoes a process called refraction. The light separates into different colors like red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Each raindrop reflects a circle of rainbow light, but ground obstacles make us observe it as an arch.
