  • 12. Rainbow Park Whistler
    A moonbow , is a rainbow produced by moonlight rather than sunlight. Other than the difference in light source, its formation is exactly the same as for a solar rainbow: It is caused by the refraction of light in many water droplets, such as a rain shower or a waterfall, and is always positioned in the opposite part of the sky from the moon relative to the observer. Moonbows are much fainter than solar rainbows, due to the smaller amount of light reflected from the surface of the moon.

As a result, a moonbow often appears to be white. However, the colors in a moonbow do appear in long exposure photographs. Moonbows have been mentioned at...
