👉 Light Spectrum Magic: Rainbows are formed by the dispersion, reflection, and refraction of sunlight in water droplets in the atmosphere. Each color in a rainbow represents a different wavelength of light, with red having the longest wavelength and violet the shortest.

👉 Double Delight: Under certain conditions, you can observe a double rainbow. The second, fainter rainbow appears outside the primary one and has the order of colors reversed. This occurs because light undergoes two internal reflections inside the raindrop before reaching our eyes.

👉 Full Circle Rainbows: While we typically see a semicircular arc in the sky, rainbows are actually full circles. However, the horizon often obstructs the bottom half. To witness a complete circle, one would need to be above the ground, such as in an airplane or on a mountain.

👉 Lunar Rainbows: Rainbows don’t only occur in daylight. Lunar rainbows, or moonbows, are rainbows that appear at night when the moonlight is refracted in raindrops. Moonbows are fainter than their daytime counterparts due to the lower intensity of moonlight.

👉 Rainbow Connection: The concept of a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is a longstanding legend. However, the location of a rainbow’s end is subjective and varies based on the observer’s position. Rainbows are optical illusions, and you’ll never actually reach the end to find a pot of gold.
