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 !


When would you be most likely to see a rainbow?

You are most likely to see a rainbow when it's raining while the sun is shining. This typically occurs in the afternoon when the sun is lower in the sky and rain is present at a distance. The sunlight refracts, reflects, and disperses through raindrops, creating the spectrum of colors that form a rainbow. It's most visible when you are positioned with your back to the sun, facing the rain.


Can you see a rainbow if you stand with your back towards the sun?

For a rainbow you need rain and sunshine at the same time. So this is possible on a partly cloudy day.


When do we see a rainbow?

A rainbow occurs when sunlight is refracted, dispersed, and reflected in water droplets in the atmosphere. This typically happens after rain when the sun is shining at a low angle behind the observer. The result is a spectrum of colors forming a circular arc, with red on the outer edge and violet on the inner edge. To see a rainbow, one must be positioned with their back to the sun and facing the rain or moisture.


Why do you see bigger rainbows in the morning and evening?

Because the center of the raibow you see is on the line from the sun through your head. When the sun is low, the center of the rainbow is high, and you see more of it. When the sun is high, the center of the rainbow is low, and you see less of it.

What angle do you have to be at to see a rainbow?

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. The sun is always behind a rainbow when seen. So you would be in front of the rainbow, rain, and the sun. Also, No two people see the same rainbow unless a picture or video was taken of the rainbow.

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.

When and where do you see a rainbow?

You can see a rainbow when sunlight is refracted, reflected and dispersed in raindrops, typically after a rain shower. Rainbows are usually seen when the sun is low in the sky, and the observer's back is facing the sun.


Where do you find the sun to be when the rainbow is visible?

When you see a rainbow, there is a direct straight line from the sun (in a clear sky), through your head, to the center of the rainbow (in water-droplet-filled air).


Can you only see a rainbow with your back to the sun?

Yes, rainbows are formed when sunlight is refracted, reflected, and dispersed in water droplets in the air. By having your back to the sun, you are facing the direction where rainbows form, allowing you to see the full spectrum of colors in the sky.


What is the link between backscattering and rainbow?

Rainbows are caused by backscatter. If the sun is out, and it is raining, look in the direction opposite from the sun, and you may see a rainbow.


What happens when the sun goes through clouds and creats a rainbow?

That doesn't happen. The sun can't create a rainbow when it's in clouds. In order for you to see a rainbow, the sun has to be behind you in clear sky, and there has to be rain or drizzle in front of you.
