What does the back of a rainbow look like?

A rainbow is an optical phenomenon formed by the refraction and reflection of sunlight in water droplets. Since it is caused by the bending of light, there is no "back" of a rainbow. It is a circular arc of colors that appears in the sky opposite the sun when conditions are right.


Why rainbow is circled?

A rainbow is simply an instance of refracted light of water droplets. This means depending on how you look at one (Eg. From the ground or from a plane) it will be different shapes. A rainbow seen from the ground will be arched, and a rainbow seen from above will be circular.


Why rainbow seems to be round high up in the air?

A rainbow appears as a circle when viewed from an airplane because the observer is seeing the full circular arc of the rainbow due to their high altitude. The shape of a rainbow is actually a full circle, but when viewed from the ground, the bottom half is usually blocked by the horizon. So, from higher altitudes, the full circle can be seen.


Can you ever see a circular rainbow?

these types of rainbow around the sea because in sea air wetness these reason to rainbow in sea is cercular ================================= Not when you're on the ground, you can't, because the center of the rainbow is in front of you, and the bottom half of it is 'underground'. But from an aircraft, if the conditions and the configuration are just right, with rain or thick clouds below you and the sun high over you, you can look down and see the full rainbow.


What is the degrees of the sun when rainbow is formed?

When a rainbow is visible to you, the sun, your head, and the center of the rainbow's circular arc are all in a line. The sun must be in a clear sky, and the air in front of you must be filled with water droplets.

Why does Rainbow appear round though light travels straight?

Light doesn't travel along the rainbow! It travels straight to your eye from every point of the rainbow. The points capable of producing a rainbow for a single individual observer happen to comprise a circular region in space.


Is their really somthing at the end of a rainbow?

No. This is because there is no "end of a rainbow". A rainbow is actually circular, but it's just that the horizon hides the lower half.

Why is it possible to see a circular rainbow when your in an airplane yet its impossible from the ground?

When you're in an airplane, you have a different perspective and are often above the clouds where the conditions are right for a circular rainbow to form due to the angle of sunlight and water droplets. On the ground, the angle of sunlight and the surface of the Earth make it difficult for all the necessary conditions to align for a circular rainbow to be visible.

Is it possible to produce a circular rainbow?

hmmm lol good question....i dont think it matters what the shape of it is....i think all it needs is rain.Ever walk across a sidewalk and see a rainbow puddle on the floor?Thats a circle :) Okay that ^ isn't a good answer... circular rainbows are possible it just depends where you are standing. If you are standing on a hill or mountain it is certainly likely the rainbow will be circular.


I have something that when you look at it it is there but when you look for it it is not What is it?

a Rainbow


Why does earth move around the sun in horizontal circular path not in vertical circular path?

It depends how you look at it. If you turn your head 90 degrees, you will see a vertical circular path. Note that there is no "up" and "down" in outer space; no preferred direction. The horizontal circular path is the way it is usually presented. This is just a convention.
