How do rainbows form? Rainbows form when light enters the water. The water of course has to reflect something. Each droplet could reflect a different color. You might ask why are they a different color, if the same light is all reflected into the water. The light that gets reflected is going to be a different color because of the different wavelengths and how they are all scattered all over the place.
     Once the water reflects everything, then the rainbow form. You might know the colors of the rainbow by ROYGBIV, meaning red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, the colors of the rainbow. There is another color that goes along with that even though it is not on there it is ultraviolet, which comes after violet.
