A rainbow is created when sunlight is refracted, dispersed, and reflected by water droplets in the atmosphere. As light enters a droplet, it bends and splits into its component colors—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The light then reflects off the inside surface of the droplet before refracting again as it exits, forming a circular arc of colors in the sky. Rainbows are typically seen when the sun is behind the observer and rain or moisture is present in the air.
