Yes it is!!!!!!!! Issac Newton discovered by directing white light into a prism it emitted all colors of the spectrum. This is the only way an astronomer can judge distance, heat, etc..of stars from Earth.

A rainbow is white light broken down into its color spectrum. A prixim will break sown the white light also. It is moisture in the air that creates the rainbow. It is the light passing through the water that breaks it down into its primary colors.

Yes, it is, but technically it's the other way around...the colors of a rainbow are the divisions of white light.

White ordinary (image voltaic) is created from all colorations of sunshine. each colour of sunshine has distinct wavelengths and considering it passes by a prism (raindrops) each colour is separated. once you spin a colour wheel the opposite takes position. the colors you word on a colour wheel are merely colorations of sunshine that are pondered back to you eyes. operating example, once you word blue, all the different colorations are absorbed yet blue is pondered back to you. once you've assorted colorations reflecting back at you and those colorations are mixed by making use of spinning them then you extremely see white.

White light is the combination all all the other colors of light. White paint or whatever is the lack of any color.
