Rainbow is not similar to prism.
A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky.
A prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light with at least two of the flat surfaces having an angle between them.
A dispersive prism can be used to break light up into its constituent spectral colors (the colors of the rainbow).
So the water droplets can be considered as being similar to a dispersive prism.
