10 Magical Pics Of Rare Double Rainbows

Double rainbows mean double the magic. Rainbows are formed when light from the sun "bends" - or refracts - off of a raindrop on the way in and the way out. The process causes the sunlight to separate into a spectrum of colours: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. On rare occasions, two rainbows form at the same time.

The first and brighter rainbow is called the primary rainbow. The second less vivid one is called the secondary rainbow. It occurs when refracted light bounces of the raindrop not once but twice, producing a secondary rainbow with its colours inverted.
