Have you ever wondered what makes a rainbow? You see them when you spray the hose and see the mist and the rainbow together. How does that rainbow form? Rainbows form by the reflection of water droplets in the air. When you see the mist, the water droplets are reflecting the colors in the spectrum. Those colors make a rainbow. A rainbow is an optical phenomenon which means that the rainbow isn't really there. It's kind of like a projection of colors reflected into the light.
You usually see rainbows after a storm. The main colors in a rainbow are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. We called these colors in science ROYGBIV. These colors are in the spectrum of light. When you use a prism to separate the colors, you will see that a rainbow will form when you use it. The colors are ROYGBIV from the spectrum. There are some legends about rainbows. I'm sure everybody has heard that if you go to the end of a rainbow, you will find a leprechaun and his gold, but that legend is not true.
