1 Wednesday 3/21/18 Notebook Entry: This picture is not photo shopped! You are actually looking at a full circle rainbow. How could this be possible? What do you think creates rainbows? captured over Cottesloe Beach near Perth, Australia

2 Why do rainbows usually only appear after rain?

3 Light enters a water droplet, bending as it slows down a bit going from air to denser water. The light reflects off the inside of the droplet, separating into its component wavelengths—or colors. When it exits the droplet, it makes a rainbow.

4 Energy from the Sun Nearly all of the energy in earth’s atmosphere comes from the sun. The energy travels in a wave and is called radiation. Light, heat, and sound are all forms of radiation.

5 Energy in the Atmosphere
Task: Create Outline form notes for the reading lesson.

6 Energy in the Atmosphere
Absorb = occurs when bundles of electromagnetic energy from light hit atoms and molecules and cause them to vibrate. The more an object's molecules move and vibrate, the hotter it becomes. Reflect = light energy is NOT absorbed and instead bounces off the object Radiate = light energy is absorbed by atoms and sent back out as heat (infrared radiation)
