Rainbows are a result of sunlight being reflected, refracted, and dispersed through raindrops in the atmosphere. They appear for a short time because the angle and position of the sun, as well as the location of the observer, need to be just right for the optical effects to create a rainbow. Once these conditions change, the rainbow disappears.
