Rainbows are like nature’s painting! When rain falls and the sun shines, water drops act like tiny prisms. They split white light into different colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. This happens because each color bends a little differently when it goes through the drop. That’s why we see a beautiful rainbow in the sky!
Examples
- After a summer storm, you spot a rainbow across the sky.
- Your friend sees a small rainbow on the edge of their glass of water.
- A child draws a rainbow using seven different crayons.
