When the sun hits the horizon, the green and blue waves of light are filtered out creating orange and red sunrises and sunsets. With sufficient moisture, sunlight will refract when it enters a water droplet, reflect off the back, and refract again as it leaves the droplet, causing a rainbow. If the light reflects off the droplet a second time, an additional bow can be seen which is fainter and portrays the colors in reverse.
