"A double rainbow is a mesmerizing atmospheric phenomenon that occurs when sunlight interacts with water droplets in the air. The primary rainbow is formed through the refraction, reflection, and dispersion of light as it passes through the droplets, resulting in the characteristic multicolored arc.

In rare instances, a secondary, fainter arc appears outside the primary one, creating a double rainbow. This secondary arc is formed when light is reflected twice within the water droplets, reversing the color sequence. Typically, double rainbows appear as a circular arc in the section of the sky opposite the sun, requiring precise positioning of the sun and airborne water droplets. While fleeting, double rainbows offer a breathtaking spectacle, reminding us of the beauty and complexity of natural phenomena."
