revealing secrets I thought I would do a little scientific research of my own regarding Rainbows.<\/p>\n<p>This is what I learned:<\/p>\n<p>In order for a Rainbow to be formed it must be raining and the sun must be shinning.<\/p>\n<p>Sunlight appears white although it&#8217;s actually made up of many wavelengths (colors) of light.<\/p>\n<p>Some of these wavelengths (colors) bend more than others when sunlight enters water droplets because water is denser than air.<\/p>\n<p>When white sunlight passes through and exits rain droplets, the droplets act like tiny prisms separating and bending the different wave lengths into a band of colors which is then reflected back to us as a Rainbow.<\/p>\n<p><a
