Answer:

As long as there is rain, a rainbow is possible. Rain is possible on a sunny day, and is known as a sunshower.The rainbow can be observed in a sunny day if the water droplets are present in air and the sun rays pass through it reaches the eye of the observer. In this situation, the observer can see a rainbow.

If you happened to look up at the sky this past weekend, you might have noticed a rare and beautiful sight: iridescent rainbow clouds, but not a drop of rain in sight. This phenomenon is known, fittingly, as cloud iridescence or irisation. The effect is not unlike seeing a rainbow painted on the clouds.
