How ​does a Rainbow form?

There are some things that make you feel happy. A nest with eggs.............or a Rainbow! Do you know how does a Rainbow form? no? well, today we'll learn how: We usually see Rainbows when it rains with the sun behind us. Sunlight contains seven colors: voilet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange & red. When sunlight hits a raindrop. Each color bends differently. ​Bounces of the inner surface & exits the drop at a different angle

Observe that, in that image, voilet was at the top, with red at the bottom. But in a Rainbow, the order is reversed, right? This happens because each color exits the droplet at a diffrent angle. High up in the sky, every colour exept red, exits at an angle above our line of site. Confused? ok. Now look at the images which I'm about to show you, don't read. ​
