Why are rainbows seen more in summer than winter?

Rainbows are a result of sunlight shining through moisture in the air. That's why you see rainbows after it rains. The moisture makes a prism, a shape which reflects and separates the different wavelengths of light. There usually aren't rainbows in winter because the moisture freezes, and drops to the ground as snow.


Can rainbows occur in the winter?

Yes they can. I live in Canada and it is winter time. I have seen about 5 rainbows in the last 3 weeks, and the sky is always clear or cloudy, no rain or snow. From what I have found online they are quite rare but they seem to be occurring a lot here this year. Must be a sign from God.
