Yes, people in different cities can see the same rainbow if the conditions are right. Rainbows are formed when sunlight is refracted, reflected, and dispersed in water droplets in the atmosphere, creating a spectrum of light. As long as the angle of the sun, the rain showers, and the observer's position are aligned, people in different cities can see the same rainbow at the same time.

Do everyone see the same rainbow?

No, different people may see slightly different rainbows depending on their viewing angle and distance from the rainbow. Each person's perspective will affect the portion of the rainbow they are able to see.


Why do two observers standing apart from one another do not see the same rainbow?

Each observer sees a slightly different rainbow because each rainbow is made of individual raindrops reflecting and refracting sunlight at different angles. This causes each observer to see the rainbow from their own unique perspective, resulting in a slightly different appearance.


How can you be looking at a rainbow and have someone else be looking at a rainbow and it is a different rainbow?

Everyone sees their own rainbow. The sun reflects off of a raindrop. The rainbow you see may be reflecting off a different raindrop than your neighbor. ========================= The exact center of the rainbow you see is always on the far end of a line from the center of the sun through your head. Nobody else's head can be exactly on that same line.


Where do you see a rainboW?

You see a rainbow when you're facing a region of atmosphere that has water droplets in it, and the sky directly behind you is clear and the sun is shining. The sun, your head, and the center of the rainbow are all on the same straight line. So you might say that no two people can ever see exactly the same rainbow, or in other words, each sees his own rainbow, even if they're standing and experiencing it together. Is that nice or what !


Are all rainbows the same size in the sky?

No, the size of a rainbow in the sky can vary depending on atmospheric conditions and the position of the observer. The size of a rainbow is determined by the water droplets in the air that cause the light to refract and reflect, creating the rainbow.

No, the size of a rainbow can vary depending on the height of the sun, the size of the raindrops, and the observer's position. The height and distance between the feet of a rainbow can change depending on these factors.

One doesn't have to be at any specific angle to see a rainbow. What is Dependent on seeing the rainbow is the location of the rain, and sun relative to you.

Also, No two people see the same rainbow unless a picture or video was taken of the rainbow.
