They are formed when it is raining outside and there is also sunlight.
White light from the sun does not have 1 specific wavelength. It's like asking what is the average height of 5 brothers. All colours have different wavelengths.
When white light is refracted from a water particle. Every colour has a different wavelength. Blue is the shortest and red is the longest. Therefore blue takes more time to cross the water particle then the red wavelength. In fact, all wavelengths from the sun light cross the water particle at different times. This creates a diffraction pattern that is always the same… a rainbow.

rainbows are formed when it rains. when the ray of sunlight passes on a raindrop (which is in form of water), the ray of light breaks and the broken ray of light turns into different colors which are the rainbow colors. this process is called refraction.
What type of area was Rainbow falls formed in?
Easy. It usually is produced when it rains and then is sunny so I personally think that it usually would occur in rainy and sunny places.
What is the angle of the sun so that a rainbow can form?
Rainbows are formed through refraction. The refraction happens through the rain drops, causing the light (which is made up of a spectrum of colours) to split and causes a rainbow. Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain -> Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. This is the order in which it refracts.

Rainbow is formed when light from a distant source usually the Sun falls on a collection of water drops such as in rain, spray, or fog.
Can bubbles form a rainbow in them?
A rainbow is not formed it is merely a reflection of light. Bubbles can show a rainbow since the light inside is reflected
Can the rainbow be seen at all times of the day?
No, a rainbow has to be formed by raindrops and sun mixed together.
Is a rainbow always the same size for the height and distance between the feet of the rainbow?
rainbows can be different sizes and height as each rainbow that is formed
What is formed when the different spectral colors are mixed?
Rainbow?
Does a rainbow exist in particular place in the sky?
yes because in side of sunlight is formed opposite side rainbow is formed due to the reflection of sunlight in rain drops
