How is a Rainbow Formed after it Rains?

Answer 1

A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that causes a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere. It takes the form of a multicoloured arc, with red on the outside and violet on the inside. More rarely, a double rainbow is seen, which includes a second, fainter arc with colours in the opposite order, that is, with violet on the outside and red on the inside.

Answer 2

Very good question. Unfortunately no one answered it fully for you. All those that said it is formed when light is refracted through rain drops are correct. Rainbows always form in the direction opposite the sun. Storms normally move from west to east so when the rain has stopped at your location and the sun comes out it is still raining to the east and it is these raindrops that the sun shines on causing the rainbow. So to see a rainbow always look opposite or away from the sun.

Answer 3

After it rains, there can be no rainbow, because it has to be raining for the sunlight to refract through the rain drops to create the color spectrum.

The correct question should be, 'How does a rainbow form, when it rains?'

Answer 4

It has to do with the sun and how the rays interact with water vapor. If water vapor is present along with sunlight the rays of light are refracted to give us the rainbow we see. Funny thing about rainbows humans can only see them.
