At higher altitudes, the air pressure is decreased, which forces water’s boiling point to lower. The air pressure decreases with altitude because of the decrease in the density of air. The lowered boiling point of water requires an increase in cooking times or temperature.

A rainbow is an optical phenomenon that is caused by both reflection and refraction of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It is caused by light being refracted (bent) when entering a droplet of water, then reflected inside on the back of the droplet and refracted again when leaving it.

When an object covers distance which is directly proportional to the square of the time, its acceleration is constant. This is seen in the cases of falling objects. This connection between time and distance was first observed by Galileo.
