these types of rainbow around the sea because in sea air wetness these reason to rainbow in sea is cercular

=================================

Not when you're on the ground, you can't, because the center of the rainbow is in

front of you, and the bottom half of it is 'underground'. But from an aircraft, if the

conditions and the configuration are just right, with rain or thick clouds below you

and the sun high over you, you can look down and see the full rainbow.
