Introduction

We can see a rainbow in the sky when the sun is shining and it is raining.

I like a rainbow. A rainbow looks like a miracle because it is very colourful.  It's a huge arch of colours in the sky.

Whenever it rains and the sun shines, I hope to see this beautiful band of colors in the sky, and the sight of one never fails to cheer me up. Personally, I believe rainbows are a symbol of hope, and the meaning associated with each color adds more significance to this colorful band.

My research. The different nations have different     numbers of colours of the rainbow

My subject of study is

 to find out how many colours of rainbow have different nations.

My aim is

 to learn how people of different countries see the rainbow and to compare with the vision of Russian people

What is the rainbow?

Do you know how the rainbow looks like? Have you ever had a chance to see it? Did you like it? Do you think it’s a miracle or just the science? As a matter of fact, this appearance is nothing but a habitual Nature’s trick. We see a rainbow when both it’s raining and it’s shining. Water from rain makes white sunlight become many-colored. It always shows up mainly opposite the Sun. That’s the way a rainbow appears.

 As a rule a rainbow is circular and very colorful.

The main colours of the rainbow

Have you ever counted the colors of a rainbow? How many are there? Only three, seven or ten? Can you guess?

 If you said SEVEN – well done! Can you tell them? What’s the first one? The most visible when you look at a rainbow. Of course it’s red. What’s the next one? Sure, it’s orange! Have you noticed the tendency? One color is very similar to following color.

 The third color is yellow! We see it clearly watching a rainbow, doesn’t we? Color number 4 is green and number 6 is blue. Can you guess what the next one is? The next two colors remind you of blue - indigo and undoubtedly violet. All colors gradate into one another. Therefore, we observe this miraculous natural appearance.

Red

This is the first or the topmost color in a rainbow
The color red first brings to mind the idea of love. This is the color of energy and enthusiasm.

Orange
Orange is the second color in the rainbow, from the top. The color orange is a combination of red and yellow. It symbolizes a lot of energy and wisdom. Orange is a very warm color,

Yellow
The third color in a rainbow from the top is yellow.  It represents the color of the sun. This is known to be full of energy. Yellow also means something bright and happy
Green
Green is the fourth or the middle color in a rainbow. The color green is formed with the merging of yellow and blue. The color green symbolizes harmony, balance, growth, and good health.

Blue
The fifth color from the top in a rainbow is the color blue. Think blue and you think of the oceans and the sky. It brings peace and understanding.

Indigo
The second color from the bottom in a rainbow is indigo.  It symbolizes wisdom, intuition.

Violet
The last or the lowermost color in a rainbow is violet. This color is a combination of the colors red and blue. It symbolizes love for humanity.

The different nations have different     numbers of colours of the rainbow

• For example:
•  the Japanese rainbow has six colours because there is no green colour in Japanese.
• The English people count also six colours in the rainbow. There is no blue colour in the rainbow.
• In China the rainbow has five colours:black, white, red, something between blue and green,yellow.
• In Africa the rainbow has two colours: dark and light.
• In Russia people can see seven colours of the rainbow, may be  because
• 7 is a magical number.
• There are 7 colours in a rainbow.
• There are 7 days in a week.
• There are 7 notes in music.
• There are 7 wonders of the world.
