The best time to see a rainbow is on a warm day in the early morning after sunrise or late afternoon before sunset. The most impressive rainbows appear when half of the sky is still dark with clouds and the other half is clear. Secondly, the rain should be in front of you. First, you should be standing with the sun behind you. To see a rainbow you have to remember some points. No matter how hard you try, a rainbow will always be as far away from you as it was before you started to move towards it. As you move, the rainbow that your eye sees moves as well and it will always ‘move away’ at the same speed that you are moving. It is always in front of you while your back is to the sun. You can never reach the end of a rainbow. If people happen to get married on such a day, it is said that they will enjoy a very happy life together.į. This is why they are associated with rescue and good fortune. Rainbows are also seen after a storm, showing that the weather is getting better, and there is hope after the storm. Legends say that if you dig at the end of a rainbow, you'll find a pot of gold. In many cultures there is a belief that seeing a rainbow is good. That is why, from an airplane in flight, a rainbow will appear as a complete circle with the shadow of the airplane in the centre.Į. However, the higher we are above the ground, the more of the rainbow’s circle we can see. The reason we don’t see the other half of the rainbow is because we cannot see below the horizon. The funny thing is that it's actually a circle.

We all believe that the rainbow is arch-shaped. In some myths the rainbow is compared to a staircase connecting earth to heaven.ĭ.

In this way it makes a permanent link between what is above and below, between life and death. Legends say that it goes below the earth at the horizon and then comes back up again. Many cultures see the rainbow as a road, a connection between earth and heaven (the place where God lives). It takes the shape of a multicoloured arc.Ĭ. As a result, a spectrum of colours is seen in the sky. A rainbow always appears during or immediately after showers when the sun is shining and the air contains raindrops. It appears in the sky when the sun’s light is reflected by the raindrops. A rainbow is an optical phenomenon that is seen in the atmosphere. Each time you see a rainbow it is unique and it will never be the same! In addition, everyone sees colours differently according to the light and how their eyes interpret it.ī. It happens because the raindrops are constantly moving so the rainbow is always changing too.
