A rainbow keeps going past the red and past the violet, and what stops it at each end is a different thing entirely. Past the red it is the water: light has to travel into a droplet and back out, and far enough into the infrared the water absorbs all of it on the way. Past the violet the water is fine. It is the sunlight that gives out, because the atmosphere overhead has taken the far ultraviolet before it ever reaches the ground. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/SryLNXCgTuQ 69 2026-08-04T16:17:37Z yes no https://teenscientists.org/world-of-teen-science/videos/surely-youre-joking/lightning-and-thunder-still-carrying-secrets/ 2026-08-04 monthly 0.6 https://teenscientists.org/images/videos/hzeU77QOEHc.jpg Lightning and Thunder: Still Carrying Secrets Most of the thunder you hear comes from one brief moment in the flash. A lightning channel takes tens of milliseconds to build itself downward, step by step, then unloads in a return stroke whose current rises in microseconds. The long, slow part is nearly silent. That was measured directly in 2023, in three flashes, at a site where lightning is triggered on purpose. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/hzeU77QOEHc 99 2026-08-04T03:54:35Z yes no https://teenscientists.org/world-of-teen-science/videos/surely-youre-joking/what-shape-is-a-raindrop-physicists-are-still-working-on-it/ 2026-08-03 monthly 0.6 https://teenscientists.org/images/videos/-O97gd4P0VU.jpg What Shape Is a Raindrop?

In that case, all objects accelerate downward at the same rate regardless of mass. Near Earth's surface, the acceleration due to free fall is nearly constant, varying only slightly with latitude and altitude. Air resistance, however, opposes this motion: as a body moves through air, it pushes the air aside and the air pushes back. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/fCwVquhfUAE 70 2026-08-13T14:25:48Z yes no https://teenscientists.org/world-of-teen-science/videos/physics-experiments-at-home/physics-experiments-at-home-precession/ 2026-08-13 monthly 0.6 https://teenscientists.org/images/videos/vLZXcSTa_YQ.jpg Physics Experiments at Home: Precession Precession is the circling of a spinning body's axis.
