How is a Rainbow Made?

You have probably heard a lot of “why” questions from your children as they are learning about the world and how it works. Ever get stuck on how something like a rainbow is made? Us too. Here is an easy explanation:

The light that we see each day is sunlight, a white light that comes to us from the sun. White light is made up of the different colors that we see in the rainbow, but when the light is all travelling in one direction, it looks white. When the beam of light hits something, like raindrops, the beam divides into all of the pretty colors that we see in a rainbow!
