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 no fields of water droplets in space to do this, although the astronauts often report that their dumped urine (which freezes instantly into ice specks) can look quite colorful if the sun hits them just right.

What does a rainbow look like from space?
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. No a rainbow has to do with light. It is a refraction of light waves through a prism (in this case a rain droplet). White particles go in one side and rainbow particles come out the other side. Then they spread and you see a rainbow in the sky after it rains. Your welcome! :)

Why does Rainbow appear round though light travels straight?
Light doesn't travel along the rainbow! It travels straight to your eye from every point of the rainbow. The points capable of producing a rainbow for a single individual observer happen to comprise a circular region in space.
