Look at the clouds and tell the story of the rainbow in the weather

Rainbow is an atmospheric light image caused by refraction, splitting, internal reflection and re-refraction. When light shines on raindrops at a certain angle, it will be refracted in raindrops, and light of various colors will deviate, among which violet light has the largest refraction, red light has the smallest refraction, and other light is in between. After being reflected by the trailing edge of raindrops, the refracted light will be refracted into our eyes through raindrops and the atmosphere. Because raindrops are suspended in the air, when we look up at the sky, raindrops on the same arc reflect different colors of light at the same angle, so we see the inner ultraviolet and red color bands, that is, rainbows. Most rainbows appear in the opposite direction of the sun. According to Arabic legend, the rainbow is the bow of god of light Goshah. When Goshah was resting,
