The sun just has to be behind you in order to see a rainbow. The middle of the arc is
in the direction that is the opposite to the sun. The rain also (of course) has to be
falling in the direction of the rainbow, and the sun (of course) has to be shining in a
clear piece of sky.
What else can I help you with?
Do everyone see the same rainbow?
No, different people may see slightly different rainbows depending on their viewing angle and distance from the rainbow. Each person's perspective will affect the portion of the rainbow they are able to see.
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.
Why do not you see a rainbow during most rainstorm?
You typically do not see a rainbow during most rainstorms because the specific angle and alignment of sunlight, raindrops, and observer are required to create a rainbow. This combination is not always present during a rainstorm, resulting in the rainbow not being visible.
How does light and rain make a rainbow?
The moisture droplets in the air refract the light like a prism. This happens with millions of droplets, and depending on the angle at which you observe it, you see a rainbow.
Why is it when you are rainbow chasing the rainbow always moves away from you?
When you see a rainbow and try to move closer to it, the position of the rainbow appears to move because the angle at which you see the sunlight refracting through raindrops changes as you move. This makes the rainbow's position appear to shift, creating the illusion that it is moving away from you as you approach 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.

How close can you get to a rainbow and what factors determine the distance you can approach it?
You can't physically get close to a rainbow because it's an optical illusion. The distance you see a rainbow depends on the angle of sunlight, water droplets in the air, and your position relative to the rainbow.
How does light and rain make a rainbow?
The moisture droplets in the air refract the light like a prism. This happens with millions of droplets, and depending on the angle at which you observe it, you see a rainbow.
When can you see rainbow?
You can see a rainbow when sunlight is refracted, reflected, and dispersed through water droplets in the air, such as after a rain shower or near a waterfall. The most common time to see a rainbow is when the sun is low in the sky, at around a 42-degree angle from your eyes.
Why is it when you are rainbow chasing the rainbow always moves away from you?
When you see a rainbow and try to move closer to it, the position of the rainbow appears to move because the angle at which you see the sunlight refracting through raindrops changes as you move.

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.
What angle does it take for these colors to form in a Rainbow?
40 cm angle
What is the significance of the rainbow angle in meteorology and how does it affect the formation of rainbows?
The rainbow angle in meteorology refers to the angle of 42 degrees between the observer, the raindrops, and the sunlight that creates a rainbow. This angle is significant because it determines the optimal conditions for the formation of rainbows. When sunlight enters a raindrop and reflects internally, it disperses into its component colors, creating a rainbow. The 42-degree angle ensures that the light is reflected back towards the observer, resulting in the appearance of a rainbow.
What is the angle of red colour in rainbow?
90
