In astronomy zenith (the point in the sky exactly above you) is the point most distant from the horizon. As a horizon defines how far down the sky you can look, zenith defines how high up you can look.

How many degrees above the horizon does the upper edge of a rainbow usually reach?

The altitude of the highest point of the rainbow that you see is (42 degrees) minus (the altitude of the sun above the horizon behind you). If the sun is sitting right on the horizon ... just risen or just about to set ... then the highest point of the rainbow is about 42 degrees above the horizon opposite the sun. If the sun is higher, then the rainbow is lower, by the same amount. If the sun is more than about 42 degrees above the horizon, then any rainbow you might otherwise see is entirely below the opposite horizon, and you don't see one.
