The rainbow is mentioned in various works of art. You can often find mention of it in poetry. Inspired me to talk with you about this wonderful phenomenon.
People since ancient times, have told many legends, myths and superstitions. They called a rainbow - a magic bridge for the Angels. The road between heaven and earth.

I hope that such beauty will not leave anyone indifferent. So I decided to share with you my knowledge and thoughts. Show some photos.
From a scientific point of view, it is an atmospheric optical phenomenon.Drops of rain water have the refraction of the rays of the sun. Therefore, the sky appears a rainbow.
Even a rainbow can occur in the reflection from the water surface. In different water bodies. This is also a very beautiful sight.

We see the rainbow colored. This is the result of refraction of water droplets , which are then returned to the observer at an angle of 45 degrees. And we see the result of splitting from red to violet.
We see only part of the rainbow - the arc. Rainbow is circular. And it can be seen from very high altitudes or from aircraft.
You can sometimes see two or three rainbows at the same time. This is the result of double reflection. A rare sight.

Even rarer to see a fire rainbow. This is when the sunlight breaks through the clouds. Mandatory condition - the presence of ice crystals.

Most often we can admire the beauty of the rainbow in the morning or evening. In the afternoon you can see it very rarely. After dark, the lucky ones can see the lunar rainbow.
When we look at a rainbow, it seems to us that it moves with us. It is a pity that it is impossible to see all colors of the rainbow. It is said that the rainbow consists of millions of colors, even those that people just can't see.
