National Find A Rainbow Day is celebrated each year on April 3, even though the official origin behind it is still unknown. Find a rainbow day involves undertaking fun activities like spotting a rainbow, hosting a rainbow party, or making craft rainbows.

Rainbow is not just a magical arch made of seven colors that fascinate people, it always stands as a universal symbol of beauty, hope and promise. Science explains rainbow as a spectrum of light appearing in the sky caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets.

A rainbow adds color to the dull sky and brings a smile to one's face.

There are many interesting stories connected to the history of the rainbow. The science behind the phenomenon was discovered by a German monk named Theodric in 1304. He observed what happened to sunlight as it passed through a large globe filled with water and documented the refraction and reflection of sunrays. The rainbows are visible only when the person viewing the rainbow comes in between the raindrops and sunshine.

On this occasion, you can plan a rainbow-themed party and use food color to create magical treats. You can also watch "Reading Rainbow" with your kids to make the day memorable.
