How do rainbows occur?

1.Rainbows happen when sunlight and rain combine in a very specific way.

2.The beams of sunlight separate into the colours we see a rainbow as they enter a rain.

3.Sunlight is actually made up of different colours that we don’t usually see.

4.When a beam of sunlight comes down to Earth, the light is white.

5.Many raindrops form the rainbow that we see, in stripes of red, orange yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
