What is a double rainbow?
A double rainbow is a very rare phenomenon. The more vivid rainbow is called the "primary rainbow," while the fainter one is known as the "secondary rainbow."
The primary rainbow appears when light is reflected once inside water droplets in the atmosphere, whereas the secondary rainbow appears when the light is reflected twice. As a result, the primary rainbow, which we often see, displays colors in the order of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet from the sky downward. In contrast, the secondary rainbow has red closer to the ground, with the color order reversed.

・Wishes coming true
・A sign of blessings
