Transpiration is loss of water from a plant. Transpiration mostly occurs from the leaves. Water vapour diffuses out of the stomata ( tiny pores mostly found on leaves ). Loss of water from the leaves creates a pull on the water in the xylem cells drawing water up the plant. This movement of water from roots to leaves is called the transpiration stream. Xylem cells form a continuous tube from the leaves of a plant to the roots, a bit like a drinking straw providing a continuous flow of water. The transpiration stream transports minerals and water around the plant and keeps cells turgid ( full of water ) so they can support the plant without it wilting.

Moonbows ( lunar rainbows ) form in the same way as a rainbow but the light source is from the moon rather than directly from the sun. The moon is lit mostly by light from the sun, but also from other stars and light reflecting from Earth. Rainbows and moonbows form when light is refracted through water droplets splitting it into the colours of the rainbow. Moonbows are much fainter than rainbows as moonlight is a lot less bright than sunlight. This makes them very difficult to see with the human eye. Moonbows are most likely to be seen when the moon is full and the sky is extremely dark. Full moons occur every 29.5 days. More about the Moon...
