        When there is both sun and rain you can see a rainbow     

the colours are:

red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet 

On the Fahrenheit scale the freezing point of water is 32 °F and the boiling point is 212 °F

In order to convert the Celsius temperature into Fahrenheit

    --multiply by 9

   --divide by 5

   -- add 32

example 30 °C       30x9=270     270:5=54   54+32=86        30 °C => 86 °F

The human body temperature is close to 98.6 °F
