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.


Is rainbow look full circle?

The would be if the ground didn't get in the way. If you're on a mountain or high ground looking into a valley, or looking down from an airplane, and the sun is high behind you and the air below you is full of water droplets, then you can see the full circle of the rainbow.


Does the rainbow touch the ground?

A rainbow is a trick of the light and has no physical properties. The water drops that cause the light to show up as a rainbow can come down and touch the ground, so a rainbow can look like it is touching the ground around waterfalls and similar water features, and is so high up in the air that it appears to touch the horizon. But the rainbow will move as the observer's eyes move, so you can never get to the rainbow, but it may appear to someone else that you have reached the end of the rainbow.If you were in a plane looking down on a rainbow you would see a complete circle. From below we only see part of it because of the Earth's curve etc. And as described above only you can see the particular rainbow that you are seeing. It looks different to anyone else because of the way the millions of raindrops reflect light individually and so differ even to someone next to you.


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.


Can rainbows make a full circle?

Not if you're on relatively flat ground. The rainbow you see can be a complete circle if you're on a high place looking down into a valley, or if you're looking down out of an airplane.

Can a rainbow be made in a different shape?

No. A rainbow is always round. On the ground, the bottom part is hidden, but in the sky, like from the view of a flying airplane, it can be seen as a round shape. Check the link below for more information:
