How do you get a rainbow?

A rainbow is the result of white sunlight being split up (refracted) into it's separate colours by the denser water droplets floating in air and then reflected back towards the source (the sun) by the surface of water droplets behind. The bow shape represents the perspective from the spectator, who has to be in between the source and the cloud of droplets to see a full rainbow.
