A rainbow is light being bent and reflected in the water. You can do the same thing with prisms and a flashlight. What happens is white light, from the sun, shines through the water in the air. The water acts like a prism and separates the white light into the colors it is made up of.

The droplets act as little prisms, refracting the light into its entire 'rainbow' of colors.
