A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that
causes a nearly continuous spectrum of light to appear in the sky
when the [b]Sun shines
onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere. It takes the
form of a multicoloured arc, with red on the outside and violet on
the inside. Even though a rainbow spans a continuous spectrum of
colours, traditionally the full sequence of colours is most
commonly cited as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. It
is commonly thought that indigo was included due to the different
religious connotations of the numbers six and seven at the time of
Isaac Newton's work on light, despite its lack of scientific
significance and the poor ability of humans to distinguish colours
in the blue portion of the visual spectrum. -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow
At night only got MOON, no sun. You drink beer until mahboh... then
see rainbow at night...[/b]
hello? it rained that night and i mentioned the rainbow was seen
around the moon because the sun's rays that were reflected off the
moon's surface shone onto the water droplets in the air which
explained why the rainbow was only seen beside the moon.
