"A rainbow is an optical andmeteorological phenomenon
that is caused by reflection of light in water droplets in the Earth's atmosphere,
resulting in aspectrum of light appearing in the sky."

"As a ray of white sunlight travels through the atmosphere to an observer,
some of the colors are scattered out of the beam by air molecules and airborne particles, At sunrise and sunset, when the path through the atmosphere is longer,
the blue and green components are removed almost completely
leaving the longer wavelength orange and red hues we see at those times."
