Because its an optical illusion. It looks like it falls on the horizion, but the more you travel towards it, it remains the same distance away. The rainbow that you actually see is only part of a circle of the rainbow in the sky. We normally only see a segment or an arc from horizion to horizion. On certain conditions when the upper level atmosphere is just right, an entire circle of the rainbow can be seen and on rare occasions, even multiple ones. == ==

If you move, the rainbow moves.The second meaning of tangible is something that is definite; clearly intelligible; not illusive. In the sense that rainbows are definite, i.e. definable and real, then, in that respect they certainly are tangible.But you still can't touch one!However, you could be touched by a rainbow, in the sense that seeing a rainbow has often touched the heart/feelings of an observer!

Does the rainbow touch the ground?
A rainbow is a trick of the light and has no physical properties. The water drops that cause the light to show up as a rainbow can come down and touch the ground, so a rainbow can look like it is touching the ground around waterfalls and similar water features, and is so high up in the air that it appears to touch the horizon. But the rainbow will move as the observer's eyes move, so you can never get to the rainbow, but it may appear to someone else that you have reached the end of the rainbow.If you were in a plane looking down on a rainbow you would see a complete circle. From below we only see part of it because of the Earth's curve etc. And as described above only you can see the particular rainbow that you are seeing. It looks different to anyone else because of the way the millions of raindrops reflect light individually and so differ even to someone next to you.
