Rainbow yo!

 
    


Somewhere over the rainbow... ohh hey guys sorry I was just singing a tune I had to sing in 4rd grade when I was Dorthy in the Wizard of Oz.I was only Dorthy for the first half of the play since its very long!!


Now, bloggers today I will be teaching you about rainbows. Have you ever heard of the Irish folk tale that there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Yeah I have too but even if you walk forever you will never get to the end because it is only light! A rainbow is basically just a ray of light with a mixture of a whole spectrum or a band of colors. When you see a rainbow the sun is always behind and whatever direction the rain is falling, that is the direction of the rainbow. Also, rainbows always follow rain and of course, there has to be sun!     



WOW, rainbows have clones?  Have any of you seen a rainbow and what looks like its clone next to it? I have in Costa Rica there was a lot of rainbows and occasionally you would see a double rainbow. Well this only happens because the water droplets reflect in two directions. When there are double rainbows people hardly notice them because it’s really faint colors. (Sorry, no clone machine yet!)


 I can't let you leave this page without some fun facts about rainbows! Rainbows can also be seen in the dark!! I bet you didn't know that rainbows are full circles, even though they appear as halves. The name Iris comes from the rainbow goddess of the Greeks!! She was considered messenger to all Olympian the gods.
