Why does the sky sometimes look like a rainbow?

The sky can appear rainbow-like due to the scattering of sunlight through water droplets in the atmosphere, a phenomenon known as refraction. When sunlight passes through these droplets, it bends and separates into its constituent colors, creating a spectrum similar to a rainbow. Additionally, atmospheric conditions, such as the presence of rain or mist, can enhance this effect, leading to vibrant arcs of color in the sky. This is often seen after a rain shower or near waterfalls.
