Concept in Definition ABC

The term rainbow is the one used to designate one of the most unique and beautiful phenomena that nature can offer and which is characterized by the training of an arc of colors in the atmosphere from the union of solar rays with drops of Water caused by rain. The rainbow is a rare effect since it only occurs when the rain ends and the sun rises, and it is almost only visible from open spaces, which is why it is not very common to see it in large cities where the horizon it is covered by high-rise buildings.

The formation of the rainbow occurs at the moment in which a rain or drizzle stops and the last drops of water exist in the environment, in the atmosphere are pierced by delicate rays of the rising sun. This union causes an arc-shaped optical phenomenon to form, which is made up of the presence of the seven colors: starting with red in the upper part, then the Orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple at the bottom. This occurs from the decomposition of those rays of light that then turn into different colors.

Rainbows are one of the most beautiful phenomena in nature for their presence but also for the fact that they last a few seconds, until the water droplets in the atmosphere disappear. There are different spaces in which a rainbow can appear and although it is normal to find them in the open space, in the sky, similar shapes can also be found in the water, on the floor, in the land as long as there is that combination of water and sun rays.
