A rainbow is formed when sunlight is refracted, reflected, and dispersed in water droplets, creating a spectrum of colors. When the sun is directly overhead, the light strikes the droplets at an angle that doesn't allow for the typical upward arc of a rainbow. Instead, the light passes through the droplets and exits without creating a visible rainbow. Therefore, rainbows are generally observed when the sun is lower in the sky, typically in the morning or late afternoon.
What else can I help you with?
Is rainbow a source of light?
No, a rainbow does not produce light, it is an effect of light being bent (refracted). The source of the light seen in a rainbow is the Sun.

Can you see a rainbow overhead at noon?
Yes. If the water moisture in the atmosphere is just right, you can see a rainbow anytime of the day. It is possible to see full circular rainbows or halos around the sun in the daytime, or even multiple ones.
Where is the Sun after seen a rainbow?
After seeing a rainbow, the Sun is typically positioned behind you. Rainbows form when sunlight is refracted, reflected, and dispersed through water droplets in the atmosphere, creating the spectrum of colors. The arc of the rainbow will always appear opposite to the Sun's location in the sky. Therefore, if you can see a rainbow, the Sun is at your back.
What is somthing that cannot be touched but can be seen?
Smoke. Fog. A shadow. The sun, moon and stars. A rainbow.
Can the rainbow be seen at all times of the day?

A rainbow can be seen only in the morning and late afternoon when the sun is at how many degrees from the horizon?
A rainbow can be seen when the sun is at around 42 degrees above the horizon. This angle allows sunlight to be refracted and reflected within raindrops to create the phenomenon of a rainbow.

Are rainbows always in the east?
Rainbows are not always in the east; their position depends on the angle of the sun and the observer's location on Earth. Rainbows are generally seen in the direction opposite the sun, so if the sun is in the west, the rainbow will be in the east.
Why do you get to see the overhead sun twice a year in bhopal but not so in lucknow?
In Bhopal, which is located at a latitude of approximately 23.2° N, the overhead sun can be seen at noon around the equinoxes (March and September) when the sun is directly above the Tropic of Cancer. In contrast, Lucknow, situated at a latitude of about 26.9° N, is too far north to experience the overhead sun at any time of the year. The sun's zenith position does not reach latitudes above 23.5° N, meaning it will never be directly overhead in Lucknow.
When and where do you see a rainbow?
You can see a rainbow when sunlight is refracted, reflected and dispersed in raindrops, typically after a rain shower. Rainbows are usually seen when the sun is low in the sky, and the observer's back is facing the sun.
