What else can I help you with?
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 !
Do you always see a rainbow when it stops raining?
No, you do not always see a rainbow when it stops raining. For a rainbow to appear, the conditions must be right, such as sunlight and rain at the same time, with the sun at a low angle in the sky behind the observer.
What direction do rainbows appear most of the time?
With your back to the Sun, you will see the full arc of a rainbow. An imaginary line from the Sun , through you, will take you to the centre of the rainbow. From that line to the centre of the rainbow, to the coloured arc is an angle of 42 degrees. The primary rainbow's colours, from the outside are rea, orange, yellow, green, blue violet, indigo to the inside of the rainbow. Since red light has a longer wavelength than blue light, then the red arc is longer , on the outside of the r'bow. Conversely the blue light is a shorter wavelength so it is seen on the inside/shorter side of the bow. If the light is very strong/bright, then you ,may see a secondary rainbow out side the primary rainbow. The colours are reversed in the secondary rainbow. Very rarely you may see tertiary rainbow, outside the secondary rainbow and the colours are reversed again. Also because of natural bending of light the outside of the red edge is dark and the inside of the blue edge is light. You only see a rainbow if rain is falling and the sun is shining in different part of the sky. The old weather lore in England, A rainbow in the morning foretells bad weather, the day. A rainbow in the evening and the bad weather is going away for the rest of the day. In fact it is more reliable than Red Sun morning or evening.
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.
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.
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 the sun and rainbow can't see at same time?
There is no "why" because the hypothesis of the question is false.You absolutely can see the sun and a rainbow at the same time. In fact,if the sun isn't there, in a patch of clear sky, then there can't be a rainbow.Maybe the reason for your impression that you can't see them at the same timeis the simple fact that the sun and the rainbow are always in exactly oppositedirections from you, and so in order to see one of them, you must look awayfrom the other one.
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.

Do you see the same side of the sun?
No, the sun rotates about every 25 to 35 days, so we see all sides of the sun, but they all look pretty much the same.
How many degrees above the horizon does the upper edge of a rainbow usually reach?
The altitude of the highest point of the rainbow that you see is (42 degrees) minus (the altitude of the sun above the horizon behind you). If the sun is sitting right on the horizon ... just risen or just about to set ... then the highest point of the rainbow is about 42 degrees above the horizon opposite the sun. If the sun is higher, then the rainbow is lower, by the same amount. If the sun is more than about 42 degrees above the horizon, then any rainbow you might otherwise see is entirely below the opposite horizon, and you don't see one.

What is the scheme position of the rainbow?

an elclispe
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).
