When you see a rainbow, there is a direct straight line from the sun (in a clear sky),
through your head, to the center of the rainbow (in water-droplet-filled air).
When a rainbow is visible to you, the sun, your head, and the center of the rainbow's circular arc are all in a line. The sun must be in a clear sky, and the air in front of you must be filled with water droplets.
For as long as the sun is behind you in a clear sky and the sky in front of you has water droplets in it.
it is when it is cloudy and warm when it starts raining you can see it but the sun has to be out shining behing the rainbow a rainbow is like rain in front of you a rainbow is made by rain and sunshine and clouds
You never see a rainbow when you face the sun. It's always with the sun at your back, and low in a clear sky, while in front of you is air with water in it.
normally you can't. Because the rainbow is just a light that is made from the Sun after a rain.
The sun's radiation that is not blocked by the earth's atmosphere ranges from ultraviolet B - at a wavelength of 280 nanometres through visible light to deep infra red, with a wavelength of 1 millimetre. Although the whole range is not visible, the wavelengths are present in a rainbow.
A rainbow? I mean you are seeing the entire visible spectrum... Rainbow isn't the most scientific word but it's something...rainbow is refracted light so yea final answer... Rainbow
when you're looking at the rainbow, the sun will be behind you.
Scientists did not find the sun. The sun has been visible to mankind since the dawn of time.
You are most likely to see a rainbow when it's raining while the sun is shining. This typically occurs in the afternoon when the sun is lower in the sky and rain is present at a distance. The sunlight refracts, reflects, and disperses through raindrops, creating the spectrum of colors that form a rainbow. It's most visible when you are positioned with your back to the sun, facing the rain.
A rainbow is formed when sunlight is refracted, reflected, and dispersed in water droplets, creating a spectrum of colors. When the sun is directly overhead, the light strikes the droplets at an angle that doesn't allow for the typical upward arc of a rainbow. Instead, the light passes through the droplets and exits without creating a visible rainbow. Therefore, rainbows are generally observed when the sun is lower in the sky, typically in the morning or late afternoon.
To find a rainbow in the sky, you need sunlight and rain. Look towards the opposite direction of the sun when it's raining, and you may see a rainbow formed by sunlight reflecting and refracting through raindrops in the air.
