You can see a rainbow whenever there's water in the air. It doesn't matter

what time it is, as long as either the sun or the moon is in a clear patch of sky.

Can you see a rainbow overhead at noon?

Yes. If the water moisture in the atmosphere is just right, you can see a rainbow anytime of the day. It is possible to see full circular rainbows or halos around the sun in the daytime, or even multiple ones.


Why cannot you see a rainbow at noon?

Rainbows usually form when sunlight is refracted and reflected off water droplets in the atmosphere, creating the spectrum of colors. At noon, the sun is directly overhead, so the angle at which sunlight hits the water droplets is not conducive for rainbow formation. The sunlight needs to hit the droplets at a specific angle to create a rainbow, which is why they are typically observed early in the morning or late in the afternoon.


Is rainbow at noon more rain soon true?

The phrase "rainbow at noon, more rain soon" is a folk saying that suggests the appearance of a rainbow during midday could indicate impending rain. However, scientifically, rainbows form when sunlight refracts through raindrops, typically occurring when there are rain showers in the area. Therefore, while a rainbow at noon could suggest that rain is nearby, it doesn't guarantee that more rain will follow. The saying reflects a correlation rather than a rule.


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.


Is a rainbow a source of light?

No. In order to see a rainbow in front of you, there must be a source of light behind you, and the rainbow you see will only have the colors of the source in it.

Will you ever find the end of the rainbow?

No, as you move the rainbow you see moves too. No, because the bit of the rainbow you see is part of a circle and circles have no end. However, you can direct someone else to the place where YOU see the end of your rainbow (but THEY will not see it when they get there).
