Curiosity corner for kids: What makes a rainbow?
Rainbows form when sunlight interacts with water droplets in the air. Light bends, splits into colors, reflects inside the droplets, and then bends again as it exits, creating the visible spectrum. This phenomenon requires both rain and sunshine, with the sun positioned behind the observer and rain in front, often appearing in the morning or evening.
