Explanation text provides information about explanations and the process of rainbow formation:
- Explanations tell the processes relating to natural, social, scientific, and cultural phenomena in order to describe how or why things occur.
- Rainbows are an optic phenomenon that occurs naturally in the atmosphere when sunlight interacts with water droplets at a 90 degree angle, refracting and dispersing the light into wavelengths that appear as colors.
- The order of colors in a rainbow is red at the top descending to violet at the bottom due to the different wavelengths of light, with red having the longest wavelength.
