“April showers bring May flowers…”
Spring is in the air and with that comes rain and hopefully rainbows. Rainbows are caused when sunlight hits water droplets in the air. The water droplets act like tiny prisms and reflect the light back into the sky.
Interesting facts: Did you know that the sun must be behind you in order to see a rainbow? And every person sees their own personal rainbow since the angle which you are viewing it is unique and each person sees color a little differently. Learn more interesting facts here.
