Can rainbows be formed by the sun breaking up moonlight?
No. Rainbows are formed by the refraction of light due to water vapour in the atmosphere. While you can have 'moonbows' caused by moonlight (sunlight reflected by the moon), it still requires light + water vapour. Sunlight + moonlight alone, cannot form one.
Can lightning appear to be colored black?
Dark Lightning Bolts?Lightning, being a glowing streak of light, can't be black because black is a color made from the absence of light. However, there IS such thing as a black rainbow. They're called "moonbows" because they're caused by moonlight and moist air rather than sunlight and rain.
Why can't you see every color properly when it is illuminated by the moon instead of the sun?
Our eyes have separate receptors for colors (cones), and for black-and-white (rods). If the light intensity is too dim, the color receptors stop working, and we only see in black-and-white, with the other set of receptors. Very rarely, bright moonlight can be seen to form rainbows (moonbows), indicating that the light reflected from the Moon does contain a full spectrum of colors.

Can rainbows appear at night?
Yes, but they're noticed much less often, and are called "moonbows". They're naturally much dimmer than the daytime variety, with colors much less brilliant. The set-up is the same, with the moon being the source of light. The moon is directly behind you, in a clear patch of sky, and the air directly in front of you has a lot of water droplets in it, either from a recent rain, or even a very heavy fog. The radius of the circular moonbow is 42 degrees, and its center is directly opposite the moon, exactly as in the daytime rainbow.

Another name for rainbow?
A moonbow (also known as a lunar rainbow or white rainbow) is a rainbow that occurs at night. Moonbows are relatively faint, due to the smaller amount of light from the Moon. As with rainbows, they are always in the opposite part of the sky from the moon. It is difficult to discern colors in a moonbow because the light is usually too faint to excite the cone color receptors in our eyes. However, the colors appear in long exposure photographs. A colored circle around the moon is not a moonbow - it is usually a 22
