Best Answer

light from the sun is know as 'white light'. it is made up of all of the colours seen in the rainbow. when it rains, the light is split up into these different colours in the same way it would if you passed light through a glass prism. Therefore light splits up into its individual colours when it rains, and this is what a rainbow is.
