Verified answer
For a rainbow you need rain and sunshine at the same time. So this is possible on a partly cloudy day.

∙ 14y agono, because when you're facing in the rainbow you cant noticed that the sun is in beside you ^.^
no you cant because when you look at a rainbow the sun is always behind you with white light splitting through the raindrops because the raindrops act as a prism.

∙ 14y agoThat answer is incorrect.
One must have the Sun to his back to see a rainbow. In fact, the angle from the shadow of his head, as he faces the rainbow, to any part of the blue bow will be 40 degrees and to the red bow will be 42 degrees.

∙ 14y agoit is behind your head when you face the rainbow
It is behind and above your head when you face the rainbow.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes, you might just see a rainbow during a rainstorm.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYes, if there is sunlight shining on falling rain at the proper angle. Anytime there is a break in the clouds during rain, a rainbow should be appearing somewhere.

Can a rainbow in the sky be seen from space?
No Rainbows are caused by sunlight glinting off tiny water particles in the sky, bouncing the light back towards the observer. In other words, any time you see a rainbow directly in front of you, the Sun is directly behind you, and your shadow points at the center of the circle the rainbow is describing.

No a rainbow has to do with light. It is a refraction of light waves through a prism (in this case a rain droplet). White particles go in one side and rainbow particles come out the other side. Then they spread and you see a rainbow in the sky after it rains. Your welcome! :)
Are rainbows always in the sky?
Rainbows are caused by sunlight glinting off tiny water particles in the sky, bouncing the light back towards the observer. In other words, any time you see a rainbow directly in front of you, the Sun is directly behind you, and your shadow points at the center of the circle the rainbow is describing. Since there aren't always water droplets doing this, the answer is "no".
Can you only see a rainbow with your back to the sun?
always!

How do you get a rainbow?
A rainbow is the result of white sunlight being split up (refracted) into it's separate colours by the denser water droplets floating in air and then reflected back towards the source (the sun) by the surface of water droplets behind. The bow shape represents the perspective from the spectator, who has to be in between the source and the cloud of droplets to see a full rainbow.
Why should you back towards the side?
To see more clearly.
Why is there no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?
Another contributor said: A rainbow is simply light refracted through water droplets. There is no real connection with gold whatsoever. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- More simply put, the reason is that it is actually impossible to put yourself at the end of a rainbow. As you move towards where you see the end of the rainbow to be, the rainbow moves so you can never get to the end.

Can you reach for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?
The pot of gold at the end of a rainbow is an optical illusion caused by refraction and reflection of light in raindrops. Rainbows do not have a physical end point, so it is impossible to reach or find a pot of gold there.
Why should you back towards the driver side?

Why and how do you see a rainbow?
You see a rainbow because you want to, and you do because you feel like it.
