    Light, Water, and Color: The Story of Rainbows

    03/26/2026 | 8 mins.

They form when sunlight passes through tiny drops of water floating in the air. As the light bends and separates, it creates the colorful arc we see from the ground. Each rainbow shows how light and water work together in surprising ways. Understanding rainbows helps us learn about sunlight, weather, and the science of color, turning an everyday moment in nature into an amazing discovery.
