A rainbow is made when light travels through rain drops and is broken up into its counterparts. White light is made up of all colors, when it is shined through a prism it is broken up. A perfect example is the Pink Floyd album cover "Dark Side of the Moon. There's a little physics lesson for you. Natural phenomenon (light reflected and refracted off water droplets in air) give rise to rainbows. (The sun is always behind the observer facing a rainbow, isn't it?) That's how. Why? Two possible answers. 1. Because. 2. Rainbows need no reason to exist. They just do.
