Counter question: are you sure they’re in separate lines?

It looks like a continuous gradient to my eyes, I’ve never seen “bands”.

There’s more yellow and red than others to me, but I’m pretty sure that’s largely because the middle is the most intense (you can easily see this with black and white photography) and red stands out more noticeably against the blue sky than the bluer half.
