Rainbow

A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection of light in water droplets in the Earth's atmosphere, resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured arc.
Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun.

Famous quotes containing the word rainbow:

    We have not the reverent feeling for the rainbow that a savage has, because we know how it is made. We have lost as much as we gained by prying into that matter.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    One doesn’t look at a rainbow any longer that lasts a quarter of an hour.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
