read , Old King James Version in Genesis.

(Noahs Ark)

Answer 2

mist+light= pretty colors?

Answer 3

The rainbow was given by God to Noah (and his descendants) after the Great Flood as a symbol of the covenant never to completely destroy the earth with water again.  This story is found in the first part of the book of Genesis (Chapters 6-8 or so I think.)

There is a scientific explanation too about the prism of light formed by sunlight hitting the water vapor in the air after a rain at just the right angle, but that doesn't preclude the fact that God created it for His purpose as stated above.

Answer 4

rainbows occur because the raindrops left in the atmosphere act like prisms (prisms bend light into colors) the drops bend the light from the sun into the colors you see in a rainbow, this is why you see rainbows after it rains

Answer 5

I don't know the scientific answer, but the biblical answer is this: God promised Noah after the flood that He would never agani end the world by water. The rainbow is a sign/rememberance of this sacred promise.

Answer 6

To remind people that God will never destroy the majority of the human population by flood again............

Answer 7

During rain,the sky may sometimes be covered completly.But,sunlight and rain drops are required for the formation of a rainbow. Hence,normally it is seen after rains.

Red

Orange

Answer 9

They don't always occur, but if the Sun appears and it's light shines into the rain, the raindrops will refract the light and break up the colors in such a way that a rainbow will appear.
