What are the Colors of the Rainbow
What is a rainbow? A colorful phenomenon that can be seen in the sky after it rains. Rainbows are caused by light reflecting off of water droplets in the atmosphere. The different colors are caused by different wavelengths of light. Red has the longest wavelength and violet has the shortest. Most rainbows are arcs, but they can also be circles or crescents. They can be full or partial, depending on how much sunlight is shining on them. No matter what shape they are, rainbows always bring joy to people’s hearts. So next time you see one, take a moment to appreciate its beauty!
And about those colors…if you want to color in the order of the rainbows seen in the sky, follow this easy guideline: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. Remember the name of this gentleman, ROY G. BIV, and you will always remember the order of the colors of the rainbow!
