My prefix lies far above the sky
Rain: Rain comes from clouds, and some clouds (like Cumulus Clouds) can appear to be sitting right on top of the sky, or even higher.
My Infix is a movement to be found
In: As in "to go 'into' something."
My suffix is not so high
Bow: To lower one's torso, as in "to take a bow."

Rainbows are often located at the horizon, facing the opposite horizon, in a direction roughly parallel to the ground. (Some, like waterfall rainbows, can face the ground, but as for across-the-sky rainbows, not so much.)

$\begingroup$ @ÉbeIsaac: Thanks, Ébe Isaac! But can't rain be above the sky? After all, the sky's limit is somewhat undefined. (And "sky" isn't necessarily the same as "atmosphere"...) $\endgroup$ – J-L Feb 4 '20 at 18:34
