Answer 11

“My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky,” wrote William Wordsworth, the famous English poet, and most of us share his feelings when we are lucky
enough to see a rainbow.

There is an old saying that a pot of gold is buried at the end of the rainbow, but have you ever tried to reach a rainbow’s end? Of course it’s impossible,
because a rainbow is really just the result of the raindrops refracting and reflecting light from our Sun.

There are seven colours in the r ainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
