00:03As a kid, you no doubt tried to find the end of a rainbow at least once, if for no
00:07other reason than to find that pot of gold.
00:09As adults, we know there is no gold hidden at the end of these atmospheric events, but at least part
00:13of that is because there is no end to these atmospheric events.
00:16But it's actually even a little more complicated than that.
00:19That's because despite their parabolic appearance, rainbows aren't giant arches, they're giant circles.
00:24Rainbows form when light from the sun reflects off millions of tiny round drops of water.
00:28That's why you generally see rainbows most frequently when it's both sunny and rainy at the same time.
00:33That light is then refracted by the water droplets, breaking it into the spectrum of colors you see in a
00:38rainbow.
00:39The issue is your perspective of a rainbow is generally with your feet on the ground, but rainbows are massive
00:44and in the sky.
00:45So when you're looking at a rainbow, the horizon is hiding half of the whole thing.
00:49But that's not all. A rainbow isn't a physically present object.
00:51You're just seeing light that has been bent and has reached your perspective in a particular way.
00:58The scope of the dusting and the sun KennedX frei is very smooth as a foundation.
01:01And like it's 6, take yourVOE, two of them is againimerkici.
01:01I should think about it.
01:01I'm gonna be partes on this mini part.
01:01I can tell you how you take a deep mythology instead of this cardiomy.

I DID see the end of a rainbow. I was driving along a country road. The road crossed over a highway where cars stopped to get out and watch the spectacular double rainbow. Further ahead sitting in the field ahead of me was the rainbow's end with distinct bands of color each with countless colored waterdrops. I realized how it could be said there was a pot of gold at the end where it sat with the orange and yellow light making drops of water that looked like drops of gold. It was truly amazing.
