No.
You need water vapor to form a rainbow. There is no water floating about between the planets and stars and whatnot.

No. You firstly need water & clouds to form a rainbow. Secondly, you need objects in space inorder for light to bounce off to create a rainbow.
That's also why space is black & empty.

No, unless you imagine that in some part of space there is a cloud of something refractive, like ice crystals, that could refract sunlight back to your eye in a spectrum. If you saw two iceballs collide, or looked backward from the night side of a comet, you might see one.

Yes - it's just the refraction of light. But I guess it depends on what you classify as a Rainbow - a spectrum of light or a pretty ark of light spanning the sky!

No, you need water vapor to create rainbows ("rain" bow)
