Why is a rainbow a parabola?

It has 2 pointsA2. It IS NOT a parabola. It is an arc of a circle. As many mountaineers or plane flyers know by looking down on the top of clouds and seeing a perfect circle of rainbow light surrounding their shadow.


Why the rainbow is in the shape of arc?

A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection of light in water droplets. The rainbow is a circle with the anti-solar point in the middle (the shadow of your eye or the camera capturing the rainbow). The circle of the primary rainbow has a specific angular width of 42° from the anti -solar point. The rainbow is not located at a specific distance, but comes from any water droplets viewed from a certain angle relative to the Sun's rays. Thus, a rainbow is not a physical object, and cannot be physically approached. Indeed, it is impossible for an observer to manoeuvre to see any rainbow from water droplets at any angle other than the customary one of 42 degrees from the direction opposite the Sun. If you use a garden hose to spray droplets when it is sunny out you can see the entire ring and indeed from airplanes and cliff edges I have seen almost entire circles from rain.
