Rainbows
Every rainbow that you've seen is your own rainbow. The reason being that no two people can see the exact angle of a rainbow because of how the light reflects off the exact location you are standing in. Rainbows aren't just sunlight passing through water in the air, they are a symbol of brighter days, promises and special circles in the sky. Me and most people in this room most likely have seen a rainbow making us all relatable sources to this topic. In this article I will be talking about what a rainbow is, how it is created, and the science behind it.
So to begin, let's look at what a rainbow is. A rainbow is a natural display of colors that happens when sunlight is lined with water in the sky. The colors that are usually shown are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Rainbows are most common when the sun is bright and there is water from rain still in the air.
How is a rainbow created? Rainbows are made when the sun passes through water and light separates into different colors. When the sunlight enters water, the light bends. This is called reflection. Then the light reflects inside the water and light again separating the sunlight into the different colors we see in a rainbow. They are also known as a multicolored arc made by light striking water droplets (according to education national geographics)
Rainbow aren't just interesting because of the science behind them, they have different meanings around the world. Rainbows can symbolize different ideas such as hope, peace, new beginnings and better days. Rainbows often apear after a storm, they are commonly used as a symbol of hope and happiness. Rainbows can also represent diversity because they bring many different colors together to create a big rainbow.
After learning about rainbows, we can see they're much more interesting than colorful shapes in the sky. Rainbows are a natural phenomenon created by light and water, but they can also have big meanings. Next time you see a rainbow remember that you are looking at both amazing science and a symbol that can mean different things to everyone.
