FUN FACTS BEFORE WE GO!

Isaac Newton observed that a thin beam of sunlight hitting a glass prism on an angle created a band of visible colors (the rainbow). This occurred because different colors travel through glass (and other mediums) at different speeds, causing them to refract at different angles and separate from each other.

It's takes only 8 minutes and 20 seconds for the light of the sun to hit the surface of the Earth.

Rainbows are just visible light being bent and then passing through things like water droplets allow us to see the different sets of wavelengths, also known as the colors of the rainbow!
