There are several articles online about rainbows (e.g. Wikipedia and How Stuff Works).

Basically, rainbows are the scattering of sunlight by water droplets, which diffracts the light into a band of colors according to frequency (red-orange-yellow-green-blue-indigo-violet).

A rainbow is actually a CIRCLE, as can be seen from an aircraft. Normally, only the part above the horizon can be seen. A rainbow does not have ends -- the apparent location will change as the observer moves. So there is no pot of gold as the Irish legend suggests.
