How does a rainbow form?

Question

be fast on the answer like 2 minutes HURRY HURRY !!

Answer 1

light bounces off water molecules in the air and displays the color spectrum

Answer 2

The light wave lengths pass through the water molecules in the air causeing all the diffrent colors or the light spectrum to appear

Answer 3

the sun shines onto the moisture droplets in the atmosphere, the appearance of the rainbow is caused by the dispersion of sunlight throught the raindrops.

Answer 4

the sun shine though the rain drop and creates a spectrum of light! and it's pretty too,   E

Answer 5

Two physical phenomena are at work within a rainbow: refraction and reflection. Refraction occurs each time light passes across a boundary from one substance to another, such as from air into water. As light crosses that boundary, the rays bend at different angles depending on the wavelength (color) of light. This is the familiar prism effect wherein "white" sunlight is broken into a spectrum of different colors from red to blue-violet.

The same thing that happens in a rainbow: white sunlight enters a raindrop and is broken into different colors heading in slightly different directions. The light is then reflected (and magnified) off the back of the raindrop and passes back into the air again, in the process being further refracted.
