Best Answer

The colors of the rainbow are all present in sunlight, but mixed together. As sunlight passes through small water droplets in foggy air, the water droplets act as lenses which alter the direction of the light, and which affect different colors to different degrees, thereby breaking up the white light into a spectrum.

Rainbows are caused by sunlight being refracted, reflected, and dispersed in water droplets in the Earth's atmosphere. When light enters a water droplet, it is refracted, reflected inside the droplet, and then refracted again as it exits, creating the colors of the rainbow.
