Rainbows are a rarity nowadays but in Taiwan a rainbow lasted for a record breaking 9 hours at the university's department of atmospheric sciences.

"It was amazing, it felt like a gift from the sky. Its so rare!" said Chou Kun-husuan, a professor at said department.

What would you do if you saw a rainbow for nine hours?

  • Interesting story but your summary is brief and you didn't include your personal thoughts within your summary. You also didn't reply to any student comments which is worth 20 points.

  • I think that I would notice it but then forget about it till later when I would see it again. I don't think that I would sit somewhere and watch it for those 9 hours. I would see it and then later see it and think that it was cool how long it was there. To me it wouldn't be that big of a deal cause nature always has surprises. 

  • I would probably think that the rainbow is neat after all but wouldn't seem to be that big of a deal after a while. I would feel like I'm a part of history. Not that big of a deal but it still is a big deal. 

  • 1. I would be surprise that a rainbow last that long up in the sky

    2. I would feel happy to see a rainbow but I would be in aw to see rainbow last that long 

  • If I lived in Taiwan and rarely ever saw a rainbow, I would look at it for a few minutes and then move on with my day. I would be very happy that I could look at something so beautiful for 9 hours if I wanted to. It would be very cool to have a rainbow last that long.

  • Well I would look at it for about 10 seconds before I went on with my life because I do not really have the time to sit for 9 hours watching it. It would still be pretty cool having a rainbow that long.

  • 1. I do not know, I guess I would photograph it, but with the hours I would forget about the rainbow, I do not care much about it

    2. As always, a little excited to see a rainbow but nothing special.

  • I don't think rainbows are as remarkable as people make them out to be. I wouldn't feel anything. In fact all I can say is that when I would randomly be walking by and decide to look up outside at the sky. Depending on when I spotted it first I would just be amazed it was still their. But we can't do anything about weather effects so it's neat but nothing insane. 

  • I probably wouldn't feel any different. Rainbows usually do not last very long since water in the air dissipates rather quickly. If I do see a rainbow I usually do not stair at it for an extended period of time. If afterwards I knew that it was the worlds longest lasting rainbow, I would feel very accomplished since I basically witnessed a world record and a historical rainbow.

  • 1. If I saw a rainbow for 9 hours, I would try to take really cool pictures. I also think that I would watch the rainbow for as long as I could. 2. I would feel a joy in my heart. I think rainbows are so beautiful, and really cool looking.
