here’s how it works: the sunlight that shines into a raindrop leaves that raindrop at an angle of 138 degrees from the path that the light traveled before it entered the drop. that’s the rainbow angle, discovered by descartes in the year 1637. if the light left at 180 degrees, it’d head straight back toward the sun. pictures of rainbows. as it is, the light is traveling in a direction somewhat back toward the sun, which is why you always see rainbows when the sun is behind you. the sunlight emerges from many raindrops at once. the combined effect is a mosaic of light, spread out in an arc in the sky. but that’s not the end of the story. when sky conditions and your vantage point are perfect, the rain and sun work together in this way to create a complete ring of light a circle rainbow.

you’ll never see this from earth’s surface because your horizon gets in the way. if one rainbow is beautiful, a double rainbow is breathtaking. in fact, is possible for sunlight to be reflected three or more times in one raindrop, but third order rainbows cannot be seen. pictures of rainbows. they form so close to the sun that its brightness overpowers them. in a double rainbow, raindrops reflect the sun’s light noticeably inward from the rainbow arc, and correspondingly out of the secondary bow, so that the dark band is seen between the bows. this effect, called alexander’s band, was first described by the greek philosopher alexander of aphrodisias in the 3rd century. the sky below the primary (lower) rainbow, and above the secondary (higher) bow, is brighter as a result. pictures of rainbows. a supernumerary rainbow forms additional bands on the inner arc of the primary rainbow, or very occasionally on the outer arc of the secondary rainbow. these bands, which usually appear in pastel colors, are caused by the interference of light waves.
