Have you ever looked up after a rainstorm and spotted a rainbow stretching across the sky? It feels like magic—but it’s really science at work!
Rainbows form when sunlight passes through raindrops in the air. As the light enters each droplet, it bends (a process called refraction), reflects off the inside of the droplet, and then bends again as it exits. This bending separates the light into all its colors—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Together, they create the beautiful arc we call a rainbow.
