Rainbows are the result of sun light Reflecting and Refracting off of water particles in the atmosphere, usually occurring the most after rainfall in the air where water is being evaporated, or when there is a very thin mist coming down.

(Try taking a hose on a sunny day, put your thumb over it and make a mist-like spray pointed in opposite direction of the sun, WHOA! A mini rainbow!)
