Rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon caused by the refraction, reflection, and dispersion of light in water droplets. Sunlight is split into its spectrum of colors, creating a multicolored arc visible in the sky. Rainbows typically appear after rain showers when sunlight shines onto raindrops.
