Because the angle formed by a line
(from the sun) --> (to any point on the rainbow) and then --> (to your eye),
is always the same angle, for any point on the rainbow.
The only way that can happen is if the rainbow looks to you like a part of a circle.
A geometrical curve is defined as any set of points. Therefore, counter-intuitively, a straight line is also a geometrical curve.
what is a shape that have 8 sides
There is no specific name for it since the curve is not specified. The curve could be a conic section (circle, ellipse, parabola, hyperbola), or a trigonometric function, or a polynomial, exponential, etc. Or a combination of these.
y=0. note. this is a very strange "curve". If y=0 then any value of x satisfies the equation, leading to a curve straight along the y axis. For any non-zero value of y the curve simplifies to y = -x. The curve is not differentiable at the origin.
horizontal, oblique, wavy, curve, vertical, zigzag, broken, angular, straight, dotted
A circle is a path that is always a curve, as it consists of points equidistant from a fixed central point. This curve does not have any straight segments or corners, maintaining a continuous and curved shape throughout its circumference.
The absorbance versus concentration curve is rarely straight because the relationship between absorbance and concentration is not always linear. Factors such as non-linear interactions between molecules, chemical reactions, and instrumental limitations can cause the curve to be curved instead of straight.
A curve is like a line segment, but not straight. Theoretically, "curved lines", is an incorrect terminology, as curve is never straight and a line is always straight. Mathematically a curve can be defined by a simple equation: γ : I → X where, I = Real number interval X = Topological space simply put, it's a line which is bent. Cheers!

Curve is one possible opposite of straight if straight refers to line that does not bend. Other meanings of straight like honest, heterosexual, and direct have different opposites than curve.
The order of colors in a secondary rainbow is reversed compared to a primary rainbow, so the inside curve would have a slightly broader band of red at the top and blue at the bottom.
The straight ball.
a curve... Well that could be an answer however it is not possible to have a bend or a curve 'in' a straight road. A curve or bend is, by definition, after the end of one straight section and before the beginning of the next; so it can not be 'in' a straight road.
no
A curve.
A straight line that intersects a circle or curve at two points, but which has both end points outside the circle or curve is called a secant. A straight line that links two points on a circle or curve is called a chord. A straight line which touches a circle or curve at one point is called a tangent. A straight line that cuts a circle or curve at one point is a straight line.* For moving diagrams see Related links below this box.
In geometry a straight line that touches a curve is called a tangent.
