All About Rainbows

Rainbows happen when sunlight shines through raindrops. The light bends, or refracts, as it enters the drop. Then it reflects off the back of the drop and bends again as it comes out. This bending and bouncing separates the light into different colors. That’s how we see a rainbow in the sky.

The colors of the rainbow always come in the same order. They are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. A fun way to remember them is with the name “ROY G. BIV.” Each letter stands for one of the colors.
