9. Paragraph on 'Rainbow'

The Rainbow
A rainbow is a beautiful natural phenomenon usually seen in the afternoon after a rainfall when the sun comes out. It appears in a clear, cloudless sky opposite to the sun. It looks like a giant, colorful semi-circular arch stretching across the horizon. It consists of seven colors: Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Red (VIBGYOR). Seeing a rainbow fills my heart with joy and wonder at the beauty of nature.
