What is a rainbow?

We all know that rainbows are beautiful and we all get excited when we see one, but what are they in reality? Rainbows are multicolored circular arcs, which appear usually when the sun starts shining after a rainfall. Their appearance is the result of the sunlight’s reflection, refraction and dispersion in droplets of water. They always appear in the sky in a section directly opposite the sun. No matter where you view a rainbow from it will always appear far away. Even if you look at someone who seems to be standing directly under it, from their point of view the rainbow will seem far away. Furthermore, rainbows can be full circles, however we only see parts of them.

Rainbows are one of the most beautiful natural phenomenons

What are the 7 colors of the rainbow?

The great Newton distinguished 7 colors in the rainbow. According to him these are the colors that are most easily distinguished by the human eye. Nowadays, his system is best known as the ROYGBIV system or the “Richard of York gave battle in vain”. This is an acronym of the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Therefore, these are the seven colors of the rainbow. Newton distinguished these seven colors, because he believed in the philosophies of ancient Greek sophists. They believed that certain things in the world are connected. The colors, the musical notes, the days of the week, as well as the known objects in the Solar System at the time are all connected by the number seven.
