WHERE DO [RAINBOWS] COME FROM?

1.  A rainbow is the amazing product of the interaction between the two fundamentals of life: light and water

2.  Rainbows are created when light is refracted or bent by raindrops – reflecting the light back to your eyes.

3.  Each color is refracted at a different angle, which allows for the separation of the colors

4.  The sun is always directly behind you when you look in the direction of a rainbow.

5.  Usually you cannot observe the entire circle of a rainbow because the earth gets in the way.

6.  The double rainbow (or supernumerary rainbow) can be seen when the sunrays follow slightly different paths through the same raindrops.   

7.  Two people can never see the same rainbow because the raindrops are always moving and the light is different depending on each persons time and place.  

8.  Kahalapuna, the legendary maiden from Manoa Valley, also goes by the name of Kaikawahine Anuenue; the Rainbow Maiden.
