A rainbow forms when sunlight is refracted, dispersed, and reflected in water droplets in the atmosphere. As light enters a droplet, it bends and separates into its constituent colors. This process creates a circular arc of colors, with red on the outer edge and violet on the inner edge. The rainbow appears when the observer is positioned with their back to the sun, facing the rain or water droplets.
