      A rainbow appears by light from the sun going into a raindrop, which acts as a prism, and reflecting off of the back of the inside of the raindrop. When the light bounces back out of the front of a raindrop, it appears as the spectrum of colors we have come to know as the rainbow. The water prism separates the light into the different wave lengths which are the source of the colors we see.
