Rainbow is a result of dispersion of light, it occurs after or during rains in the direction opposite to the sun: the observer must look away from the sun. Since light has a different speed in different media and the raindrops have curved surfaces, different wavelengths corresponding to different colors refract differently, which lets us see the rainbow.
