Day 6
Welcome to another week of YWiC summer camp!
Day 6
Fun fact about rainbows, Earth is the only planet in our solar system with rainbows! "Sure, Jupiter has constant hurricanes of gas and Mars may even have some frozen water … but Earth is the only planet in our solar system capable of creating rainbows – so far as we know. That’s because Earth is the only planet with consistent liquid precipitation and direct sunlight. On the Saturn moon of Titan, scientists believe there may be liquid methane rainstorms, but the atmosphere is so hazy that it’s unlikely enough sunlight passes through the methane drops to create a rainbow."

And for our CS, what does it have to do with rainbows? People have used computer simulations to study rainbows and the physics behind them. The simulations answer the questions of how rainbows are formed and how light interacts with water drops. To read more about this interesting study, click here.
That's all for today's blog!
