Light passing through a transparent medium like glass/water does. Smoke is made of small particles of unburnt carbon, and light passing through is does not get split into a rainbow.
because he is awesome
No, rainbows are created by the refraction and dispersion of sunlight by water droplets in the atmosphere. Ultraviolet rays are not directly responsible for creating rainbows.
It's Iris she id the goddess of the rainbows

the colors are always present...the prism allows you to see them.
they both create rainbows because of their spherical shape
omg yes. lol. no they dont just kidding but that would be cool == It is possible to look at this question and answer "yes" because rain comes from clouds, and droplets of water in the air reflect and refract light to create the rainbow. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say "no" and offer that clouds actually pee a rainbow.... Never let it be said that this one wasn't thought through.
Scientists who study rainbows are called atmospheric scientists or optical physicists. They study the physics behind the formation and properties of rainbows, including how light is refracted, reflected, and dispersed in the atmosphere to create this colorful phenomenon.
Rainbows disappear when the water droplets in the air evaporate or move out of the sunlight's path, causing the sunlight to no longer be refracted and reflected to create the rainbow. Rainbows can also disappear when the angle between the observer, the sun, and the raindrops changes.
does it reflect off the water to create all of the colors
Prisms create rainbows by bending and separating white light into its different colors through a process called refraction. When light enters a prism, it is bent at different angles depending on its wavelength, causing the colors to spread out and form a rainbow.
Prisms create rainbows when light passes through them because the light is refracted, or bent, as it enters and exits the prism. This bending of light causes the different colors in the light spectrum to separate and form a rainbow.
