That verse simply means it rained on the earth for the very first time The SUN caused the mist to go up from the earth which caused the clouds to become full and it rained as it is so unto this day all due to the awesome creations of my GOD

I think this "mist" formed a vapour canopy over all the earth. It came down to help flood the earth in Noah's time. Since it stayed on the earth a rainbow was seen for the first time.

Maybe the mist is symbolic of how Gods Perfect creation was hidden? He had already made everything and he said it was good.

Interesting that before rain, mist came up from the earth like a large sprinkler system.
