because the light travels through the water which splits the light and can only be seen from a certain distance away
Seen from high enough (an airplane) it can be a full circle.
a rainbow
A rainbow can be seen when the sun is at around 42 degrees above the horizon. This angle allows sunlight to be refracted and reflected within raindrops to create the phenomenon of a rainbow.

You can't physically get close to a rainbow because it's an optical illusion. The distance you see a rainbow depends on the angle of sunlight, water droplets in the air, and your position relative to the rainbow.
Visible light is the electromagnetic wave seen in a rainbow. This light is refracted, reflected, and dispersed by water droplets in the atmosphere to create the colors we see in a rainbow.
Fairy springs is where you can see Rainbow trout
No, a rainbow has to be formed by raindrops and sun mixed together.
No, a rainbow does not produce light, it is an effect of light being bent (refracted). The source of the light seen in a rainbow is the Sun.

Because its an optical illusion. It looks like it falls on the horizion, but the more you travel towards it, it remains the same distance away. The rainbow that you actually see is only part of a circle of the rainbow in the sky. We normally only see a segment or an arc from horizion to horizion. On certain conditions when the upper level atmosphere is just right, an entire circle of the rainbow can be seen and on rare occasions, even multiple ones. == ==
