sunlight shining into each individual raindrop is refracted, or split into its component colors. And the light is also reflected, so that those various colors come bouncing back. One key to rainbows is that the light leaves the collection of raindrops in front of you at an angle

A rainbow is the diffraction of sunlight through spherical water droplets in the air. A raindrop is always spherical.The rainbow is curved as it reflects the round shape of the sun. It is a semicircle because only half of your field of vision is the air .
