rainbows

Many people love to watch rainbows. They look so pretty that

everybody feels great to watch them. Rainbows are often seen

when the sun comes out during or after the rain. Rainbows are

caused when sunlight shines through the drops of water in the

sky at specific angles. When the white sunlight enters raindrop,

it exits the raindrop a different colour. When the light exits lots

of different raindrops at different angles, it produces the red,

orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet that you see in a

rainbow. Together these colours are known as spectrum. These

colours can sometimes be seen in water falls and fountains as

well.
