Answer:
1. When the sunlight travels a long path through atmosphere to reach our eyes, the blue light has been mostly removed, leaving mostly red and yellow light remains since red light waves are scattered the least by atmospheric gas molecules. 2. Rainbows can also be formed when its misty outside or when there is overspray. You only need water that can act as prism and light to shine to create a rainbow.
3. Having a rainbow is caused by dispersion of light in water droplets which is why they occur when sun comes out after rain. Having gold at the end of rainbow is just a myth since you can never reach the end of the rainbow.
