At every point in a rainbow, the anglebetween the sun and your eye
is the same. The only shape that can accomplish that is a circle.

What do you call in a band of colors as seen in a rainbow?
a rainbow
Why is it called rainbow the word rainbow?
I'm guessing it has something to do with how a rainbow starts after it rains.
Does the rainbow have a name?
The rainbow has a name, but it's the scientific name. Rainbow also goes by Moonbow. But, rainbow is called rainbow because the colors in the rainbow. ROYGBIV when you see a rainbow its called a spectrum. ROY G. BIV is the name... for RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO, VIOLET...
Can you get to the end of a rainbow?
No. The center of the rainbow is always directly in front of you, opposite the sun. If you move, the rainbow moves.
What is a rainbow above a rainbow called?
Highly educated research scientists refer to that rare phenomenon as a "double rainbow".
Is there a kid who can bend their finger?
yes, some where over the rainbow~
How do water droplets in the air form a rainbow?
the light reflects of the droplets like a prism and bend the rays of light to make a rainbow
Can light rays bend?
Yes. The best known is the prism effect of a rainbow; but magnetic fields and gravity also bend light.
Why does oil and water make a rainbow?
Water and oil can make rainbows because they can bend and fragment the light into the basic color spectrum.
Where do you buy a rainbow?
1. Go purchase a small triangular prism from a store specialising in child science toys and experiments. 2. Shine the prism in the light and it will bend the light, separating the spectrum into the 7 colours of the rainbow, red orange yellow green blue indigo and violet. 3. There's your rainbow.
What makes rainbows colorful?
Water droplets in the air act like a prism and bend the light rays from the Sun which splits the light into the individual wavelengths, allowing you to view it as a rainbow.
Why the rainbow is colourful?
Because when the observer is between the sun and the rain droplets the sun hits the rain droplets and then the rain droplets bend and form the colours.
How are colors separated in the rainbow?
Rainbows occur shortly after it rains. White light (sunlight) consists of each color, each with a different wavelength. The rain partices act like a prism. The light goes into the prsim and refracts into every color. Other waves don't refract this way but certain colors bend more than others. The rain droplets bend the white light into separate colors to make a rainbow.
Why must there be sunshine and rain in order to for a rainbow to be seen?
The sunlight whenpassing through water droplets in air is refracted into different colours making a rainbow. Sunlight (white light) is composed of visible rays at different frequencies. Different frequencies bend when passing through water at different angles and can be seen separately.
What happens when light strikes a prism?
If the light enters the prism at an angle the light will bend. The amount the light will bend depends on its wavelength. Each wavelength is bent a different amount effectively splitting the light into its constituent wavelengths. Visible light (390 - 750 nm) will split into a rainbow. see link below
Do rainbow have pink?
The rainbow does not have pink in it.
