What makes there be two rainbows beside each other???

Answer 1

I am amazed at some of your questions. This is another very good question and I have your answer. On those occasions when a rather spectacular rainbow is visible, an observer will occasionally be treated to a view of a dimmer secondary rainbow. The secondary bow will be visible about 8 degrees above the primary bow and will suspend a larger arc across the sky. The secondary bow also has a slightly narrower band of colors than the primary bow and the colors as you may have noticed are in reverse order. Red makes up the innermost band of the secondary bow and violet the outermost. The secondary rainbow is generated in much the same manner as the primary. The main difference is that the dispersed light which constitutes the secondary is reflected twice within a raindrop before it exits. The extra reflection results in a 50 degree angle for the dispersion of the color red (about 8 degrees higher than the primary ) and a reverse order of the colors.
