Rainbows are caused by sunlight refracting (passing through) and reflecting (bouncing off) of drops of water (mist) in the air. If the mist moves, the rainbow moves. When it moves past a certain degree of angle, you can no longer see it - but somebody else standing somewhere else might be able to. Eventually when the mist is gone, the rainbow is gone.

Why is it when you are rainbow chasing the rainbow always moves away from you?

When you see a rainbow and try to move closer to it, the position of the rainbow appears to move because the angle at which you see the sunlight refracting through raindrops changes as you move. This makes the rainbow's position appear to shift, creating the illusion that it is moving away from you as you approach it.

The rainbow is an optical effect caused by the angle at which the sunlight hits the water droplets in the air. As you move, this angle remains the same, so the rainbow appears to move.
