Sun Behind, Rain Ahead

A child stands with the Sun behind them and rain falling in front. A rainbow appears in the rain ahead.

In the picture

  1. The Sun disk behind the child: it shines from the back.
  2. The rain shower ahead: water drops fall in front of the child.
  3. The colored arc in the rain: sunlight makes a band of colors.

Examples

  • A rainbow seen in your backyard after a rain shower.
  • A garden hose rainbow with the Sun at your back.
