Rainbows are formed when light shines through water, like when the sun shines through the rain. This light is bent and reflected, like a reflection in a mirror, and this causes all of the amazing colors that you see in the sky.
The pattern of colors starts with red on the outside and changes through orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo to violet on the inside.
