Rainbow occurs because of the refraction of light. The sunlight that shines in between the rain drops is refracted by the rain drops. This process separates the white light of the sunlight into a spectrum of different colors.

The spectrum of colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Or what we often memorize as the abbreviation "ROY G BIV / mejikuhibiniu.” Then the colors reflect in the back drops of rain, resulting the light which looks arched and becomes the rainbow.

The spectrum of colors is actually from ......

• the light

• the sunlight

• the sun in the rain

• the rain in the sun

The snowfall is always exciting, isn’t it? In the snowfall you can crunch through the snow, make a snowman and play snowballs with your brother. Have you ever wondered how snow is made, though?

Snow occurs when water vapors in the air freeze before they can turn into water. This happens when the temperature in the clouds is very cold. Snowflakes are made up of crystals of ice that have formed around bits of dirt in the air. The snowflakes start out very small and grow. Each snowflake is different and might contain up to 200 crystals.

Which paragraph is the explanation?

• paragraph 1

• paragraph 2

The night sky that occur most frequently in high latitudes of both hemispheres. They are categorized specifically according to their location. Auroras in the Northern Hemisphere are called the northern lights (aurora borealis), and in the Southern Hemisphere, auroras are called the southern lights (aurora australis). Auroras are caused by the sun, but they are not sunlight. In addition to light, the sun also sends out electrically charged particles stream of electrons and protons, called the solar wind. This stream of particles travels from the sun towards the Earth at high speed.

The earth is surrounded by a magnetic field, consisting of north and south magnetic poles. These magnetic poles are not the same as the North and South poles. As the charged particles in the solar wind penetrate the earth’s magnetosphere and enter the lower Van Allen radiation belt, the earth magnetic field deflects it to the magnetic poles. Then they collide with gas molecules, mostly oxygen and nitrogen, in the atmosphere. These collisions cause them to emit visible light at various wavelengths, creating the colors of the aurora. Because the light of auroras is not strong enough, they are generally only visible at night.

• Tsunami

Digestive System

The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into small pieces by the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the mouth. Saliva contains digestive juice which moistens the food, so it can be swallowed easily.

From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach. Here, the food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours. Then the food enters the small intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are squeezing, mixing and moving the food on wards.

In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed by the villi (microscopic branch projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the bloodstream.
