Rainbows appear when sunlight meets raindrops. Inside a raindrop, the white light breaks into different colors, like a prism in the sky! Each color bends slightly differently, so we see them spread out as a rainbow.
Examples
- A prism splits white light into colors like a rainbow.
- Raindrops act like tiny prisms, making each color appear in order.
