Can a rainbow in the sky be seen from space?
No Rainbows are caused by sunlight glinting off tiny water particles in the sky, bouncing the light back towards the observer. In other words, any time you see a rainbow directly in front of you, the Sun is directly behind you, and your shadow points at the center of the circle the rainbow is describing.
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.
Can you stand at the bottom of a rainbow?
Nah, you can never get there because a rainbow is light refracted by the sun through the atmosphere. If you could actually get to where it looks like the end is you wouldn't be able to see it. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the leprachan's gold will always be safe.
What does a rainbow look like from space?
Rainbows are caused by sunlight glinting off tiny water particles in the sky, bouncing the light back towards the observer. In other words, any time you see a rainbow directly in front of you, the Sun is directly behind you, and your shadow points at the center of the circle the rainbow is describing. No a rainbow has to do with light. It is a refraction of light waves through a prism (in this case a rain droplet). White particles go in one side and rainbow particles come out the other side. Then they spread and you see a rainbow in the sky after it rains. Your welcome! :)
Where is the rainbow located?
Rainbows can appear in the sky when sunlight is refracted and reflected by raindrops, creating a spectrum of colors. You can see a rainbow when you stand with your back to the sun and rain is falling in front of you. Rainbows are not physical objects and do not have a specific location.
How do you get a rainbow?
A rainbow is the result of white sunlight being split up (refracted) into it's separate colours by the denser water droplets floating in air and then reflected back towards the source (the sun) by the surface of water droplets behind. The bow shape represents the perspective from the spectator, who has to be in between the source and the cloud of droplets to see a full rainbow.
How can I find a rainbow in the sky?
To find a rainbow in the sky, you need sunlight and rain. Look towards the opposite direction of the sun when it's raining, and you may see a rainbow formed by sunlight reflecting and refracting through raindrops in the air.
How can I build a rainbow in my backyard?
To build a rainbow in your backyard, you can use a garden hose to create a mist of water droplets. Position yourself with the sun behind you and look towards the mist to see a rainbow form. Adjust the angle of the hose and your position to see the rainbow at different heights. Remember, rainbows are formed by the refraction and reflection of sunlight through water droplets in the air.
Why should you back towards the side?
To see more clearly.
Why is there no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?
Another contributor said: A rainbow is simply light refracted through water droplets. There is no real connection with gold whatsoever. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- More simply put, the reason is that it is actually impossible to put yourself at the end of a rainbow. As you move towards where you see the end of the rainbow to be, the rainbow moves so you can never get to the end.
Why do meerkats stand on their back legs?
To see further ahead.
Why and how do you see a rainbow?
You see a rainbow because you want to, and you do because you feel like it.
Why should you back towards the driver side?
To see more clearly.
Can you reach for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?
The pot of gold at the end of a rainbow is an optical illusion caused by refraction and reflection of light in raindrops. Rainbows do not have a physical end point, so it is impossible to reach or find a pot of gold there.
Why rainbow is always in opposite direction of sun?
A rainbow appears in the opposite direction of the sun because the light is being refracted, reflected, and dispersed by raindrops in the atmosphere. When sunlight enters a raindrop and is refracted, it is then reflected off the back of the raindrop and dispersed, creating a rainbow that appears on the opposite side of the sky from the sun.
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).
