A leprachaun smiling with a pot of gold. I wish.

Atmosphere, (AIR)

True experience: while driving away from an early morning rainstorm across a long, flat valley, we spotted a rainbow that appeared to be quite close. Within a few miles, we were able to look out across farm fields and actually saw what appeared to be the end of the rainbow touching down in a field of spring crops.

The rainbow is, of course, a trick of light being refracted by moisture (or raindrops) in the air, visible when viewed from a particular angle. For just a few moments, our car was at the perfect angle, relative to the refraction of light, to see the end of the rainbow touching the earth in a mist that was distinctly golden.

So while there is no "pot" at the end of the rainbow, I can give eye-witness testimony that there is indeed gold (light) at the rainbow's end!

Answer #2:

That's beautiful. Answer #1 has brought a tear to my eye and a lump to my throat.

At the end of a rainbow is the ground. If there were no ground there ... like

if you see a rainbow below you from an aircraft ... then the rainbow would be

a full circle, but the ground usually intervenes to cut off the lower part of it.
