There some interesting things about rainbows that people don’t know or they forget:

1. Everytime we see a rainbow, it’s after the rain. It means that the sun is always behind you and the rain in front of you when a rainbow appears. Thus, the centre of the rainbow’s arc is directly opposite the sun.

2. Many believe that the colors of the rainbow are only red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, but a rainbow is formed from numerous colours, even from those we can’t see.

Source

3. People can see the colours of a rainbow due to the light of various colors that is refracted when goes from one medium, such as air, and into another, in our case, the raindrops formed up from water.

4. Every one of us sees their own “personal” rainbow. When you look at a rainbow, for example, you see the lights reflected of certain raindrops, while the person next to you, looking at the same rainbow, may see the light reflecting from a different angle, so it’s different. It means that every person sees rainbow colors accordingly to light and how her eyes perceive it.

5. The end of a rainbow can never be reached. When you move, the rainbow that you see with your eyes, moves as well as the raindrops are found in various sports in the atmosphere. In a few words, the rainbow will move aways while you are moving, at the same rate.

Below you will find a list of the most frequently asked questions about rainbows with the best answers to learn more about this unique phenomenon.

1. What causes the rainbow?

A rainbow is caused by sun or moon light which interacts with raindrops. Raindrops commonly are round. Light entering raindrops is refracted and decomposed into various colors. This means that a rainbow is caused by the refraction of light inside rain drops, which determine white sunlight to be separated into different colors. If the sun is not illuminating the raindrops, there will be no rainbow formed.

2. Why is the rainbow colored?

The colors of the rainbow are formed by a phenomenon known as dispersion. Dispersion causes white light to break up into different components, when the light travels from one medium to another. Different colors of light have different directions, while white light consists of all possible colors.

3. What are the colors of the rainbow?

Commonly, the colors of the rainbow are considered to be red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. However, it is important to know that these colors are a continuous spectrum and not a set of distinctive colors.

4. Can I see a white rainbow?

A white rainbow can be caused by the moon. So, the moon, such as the sun, is also capable of producing rainbows. As a rainbow is formed by a mass of water droplets and light, the lunar rainbow can easily be formed as well. However, it is rare and it usually is so faint that humans cannot see or distinguish the colors. This is why when it occurs, the lunar rainbow is usually seen as white.

5. Why is the rainbow round?

One of the main reasons why the rainbow is round is given by the shape of the raindrops. Most raindrops are round, while the light from the sun is refracted by droplets over a certain angle. This is why the rainbow appears opposite to the sun. The rainbow is commonly seen above the horizon. Rainbows always appear round because they are formed at a constant angle around the anti-solar point.

6. Where is the end of the rainbow?

The rainbow has no end, or at least no end that could be localized. A rainbow is not a physical thing, so you cannot find its end. It is just an optical illusion: when you move, the rainbow also moves.

7. Why there are sometimes two rainbows?

A secondary rainbow can be produced by light which has reflected twice inside raindrops. The secondary rainbow will most likely have the color scheme reversed.

Children are always excited to see the rainbow, but actually every single person is amazed by the beauty and brilliance of this phenomenon.

Nevertheless, it can work in other rooms of the house as well. Using display shelves to organise your color spectrum and choosing works of art that are very colorful are very sophisticated ways to incorporate the full spectrum of the rainbow into your home design.

Here is what you need for your rainbow window craft:

• clear plastic report cover, or other clear plastic sheet;
• glue that dries clear;
• beads in red, orange, yellow, green, dark blue, light blue, white or clear, and purple ribbons;
• hole punch.

Source

Instructions to Make Your Rainbow Window Craft

• Cut the clear report cover in half. On the top, at either side, use the hole punch to cut out a small hole. You will use these holes later to hang your rainbow craft.
• Use the glue stick to create the top arc of the rainbow. Use the other half of the cover to press the beads in gently. Make sure not to spread the glue too thin. You don’t want the beads to fall off your rainbow.
• Place the beads in separate containers. Sprinkle the red beads over the glue. Tip the plastic report cover slightly to pour any extra beads back into their container. If the bead container is small, you may want to tip the plastic over a piece of paper. This way, you can pick up the paper and bend it to slide the beads back into their container.
• Continue this way until you have completed each band of your rainbow. Use the dark blue beads for the rainbow and the light blue beads for the sky. Wait between each band to allow the glue to dry.
• In the extra space around the rainbow, swirl the glue in the shape of clouds. Sprinkle the white or clear beads over the glue and let them dry.
• Cover the remaining empty areas with glue, and sprinkle the light blue beads to create the look of sky. Now, let the whole craft dry completely.
• When you rainbow craft is dry, cut a length of ribbon and tie the ribbon to either side through the holes you punched earlier. Hang the picture in the bottom window using the window latch.

Your rainbow window craft is now complete. Watch as the sun glows through it on the next sunny day. Your rainbow window craft should look something like this:

Now that you have seen so many applications of rainbow colors in real life, you should feel inspired to create beautiful things which you can surround yourself with. Forget about dull and boring colors, because life doesn’t come in shades of grey. If you want to feel only positive energy and to give a boost to your creativity, think of all the gorgeous rainbow colors. Use these bold and energetic colors to decorate your clothes, your house and your garden and you will feel wonderful. The rainbow colors are the purest colors that exist and you should use them to improve your life.

As people always use these gorgeous colors in their creations and photographers seek them in every little detail they can immortalize with their cameras, you too can use the great power of colors. Surround yourself with positive energy and choose the most beautiful images to admire, those that can make you feel better and push you to do your best day by day.

But how can you do that?

No, it’s not complicated at all and you won’t waste a lot of money. You need:

• a piece of black paper; black construction paper is also great, but glossy photographic paper used in ink jet printers works, too

• a cake pan or a similar container that can hold water and has the right size to hold the flat piece of paper that you will place in the bottom; nonetheless, you can cut the piece of paper to size

• clear fingernail polish

• an eyedropper

The first thing you have to do is to place the paper in the bottom of the pan or in the container that you have.

Fill in with water until the paper is covered with at least a half of an inch of water.

Source

Put the eyedropper in the nail polish bottle, but squeeze it just a little to get the air out of it. This way, you will have just half of an inch of nail polish into the eyedropper. Remember that you only need a single drop!

Drop a single and small drop of clear nail polish onto the surface of the water. You will see how your nail polish will spread and will make a circle of film on the water. The film is very thin, so you can hardly see it.

Source

Let the circle dry for a few minutes. You will know when this happens when you will see that its edges wrinkle and the centre will dry harder than the edges.

Source

Then, you have to lift carefully one end of the paper out of the water, but be sure that you will catch the edge of the circle onto the paper.

Let the water drip off the paper and then put the paper on a newspaper to dry.

Source

You can see the rainbow colors by holding the paper flat towards the light and look at it at a low angle.

Source

If you will use photographic paper, you will observe a nice and smooth surface with many rings of color. If you use more than one drop, then you will get double patterns, which also look amazing.

You can do this for your kids or even for yourself. It’s an easy process that relaxes you and develops your creativity.
