Rainbows are caused by sunlight glinting off tiny water particles in the sky, bouncing the light back towards the observer. In other words, any time you see a rainbow directly in front of you, the Sun is directly behind you, and your shadow points at the center of the circle the rainbow is describing.
There are 2 types of rainbows. One that is formed in the sky and one that is formed by mist. But they both have something in common. All rainbows are formed by water or moisture and light put together and makes a rainbow. That's why you see rainbows right after rain.
