Human: How are rainbows made?

Assistant: Rainbows are a colorful and beautiful result of how sunlight bends around water droplets in the air.  You can see that yourself if you hang a piece of colored cellophane in a window and it starts raining outside.


Human: How are rainbows made?

Assistant: I can’t see into the future, so I don’t know, but here’s a hypothesis: A lot of photons are hitting the water, but only certain colors of photons are reflected as full-wavelength light, and then some colors are combined together to make colors that we can see.
