This is actually a physics based question. When the sun is behind you usually not at peak of day, and there are water molecules and water drops in the air, say from rain or your garden hose, the light enters the water molecules, bounces off the back wall, and back into the air. There, due to different light speeds in air and water, the light bends and creates a rainbow patter. After I wrote this I checked Wikipedia, and says the same thing.

Rainbow? Where?

Because water drops refract and reflect sun'rays which reach your eye at a particular angle creating an image of a rainbow in front of you.
