Why is it impossible to find the end of a rainbow?
You can't reach the end of a rainbow because it is an optical illusion. Rainbows are formed by the reflection, refraction, and dispersion of light in water droplets, creating a circular arc of colors. Since the position of a rainbow is relative to the observer's location, it appears to move as you move, making it impossible to reach its end.
