What shape are rainbows?
If you are in a airplane rainbows are actually a circle shape,but from our view it is semi-circle.
Do rainbows have an end, or do they continue infinitely?
Rainbows do not have an end, but they appear as a circle if viewed from above. The colors of a rainbow are caused by the refraction and reflection of sunlight in raindrops.
Why are rainbows circles?
Rainbows appear as circles when viewed from above because the sunlight is refracted and reflected inside raindrops, creating a full circle of colors.
Do rainbows have an end?
No. A rainbow is really a circle. You can only see part of it when you're on land, but if you happen to see one below you while you're in an airplane, you can often see the full circle.
Why rainbows shape is like a bow why NT a circle or sumthing else?
Because the rainbow is reflected.
How do rainbows happen?
Rainbows occur when sunlight is refracted, or bent, in raindrops. The sunlight is split into its component colors as it passes through the raindrop, creating the colors of the rainbow. The angle at which the light is refracted determines the size and shape of the rainbow.
Why do rainbows happen and what causes their vibrant colors to appear in the sky?
Rainbows happen when sunlight is refracted, or bent, by raindrops in the atmosphere. This refraction separates the sunlight into its different colors, creating the vibrant colors we see in the sky.
Are rainbows displayed as a whole circle?
They can be- depending on your angle to the sun. Your best chance of seeing a "Raincircle" will be from an airplane.
How long are rainbows?
A rainbow has no length- it is a refraction of light, dependent on the angle between the viewer and the light source. When seen from an airplane, it may be a circle of color, and not a "bow".
Are all rainbows round?
No, rainbows form a full circle, but we only see a semicircle due to the horizon blocking the bottom half. The shape of a rainbow depends on the observer's position relative to the sunlight and water droplets that create it.
When viewed from above rainbows are what shape?
Rainbows are an optical illusion, they are not "real". You cannot view them from above; they will always appear the way they appear from the ground.
Why are rainbows seen less frequently in winter?
because rainbows happen when rain water breaks up the light of the sun but if it is not sunny there is no light for the water to break up
