You need to go back to Genesis 1:7 where God divided the firmament below from the firmament above. . . .
There was a THICK cloud covering over all the earth . . . . which protected the earth from UV raditation . . . .
Thick cloud covering . . .no sunlight shining down into the water vapor making rainbows . . . There were not rainbows until the firmament above was GONE . . . . or . . diminished.
Note that it is AFTER the flood that the longevity of man plummets.
BEFORE the flood, even after the "Fall" of man . . . humans lived hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years . . .
