A rainbow, As you know has seven colours, Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red. It caused due to the dispersion of light through a transparent medium. A light wave consists all these wavelengths ( VIBGYOR).
When the sun's rays pass through infinite water droplets,which act as the transparent medium,forms the rainbow.

Rainbows are conical in shape. The point of the cone is centered on your eye. You will see a rainbow when it's raining in the opposite direction from the sun. The center of the apparent "arc" that you see will always be the shadow of your head.

The colours are Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet (ROYGBIV) in that order.
The are caused by light bouncing of droplets of rain.

Rainbows are never singular.. they is always a double rainbow.. because of the refraction... although you cant always see it because of the light refractive index and the weather condition

Leprechauns will defend their pot of gold to the death...
how can you not know what you're looking for?
P.S. You can never reach a rainbow, the sun always has to be out, they're purty, planes often crash into them....huh?
