What makes a rainbow?
Sunlight is made up of many colors - red,
orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
When it is sunny the colors are mixed together
and appear white to the eye.
But when sunlight shines through raindrops, the
light bends and separates the colors.

When can you see a rainbow?
Rainbows form when its raining in one part of
the sky and the sun is shining in another
part. To see a rainbow, you must face the rain
with the sun at your back.
