The first meaning of tangible is that you can touch it. You can't touch a rainbow. It is an optical effect, caused by the splitting of light rays into different frequencies of light. If you move, the rainbow moves.
The second meaning of tangible is something that is definite; clearly intelligible; not illusive. In the sense that rainbows are definite, i.e. definable and real, then, in that respect they certainly are tangible.
But you still can't touch one!
However, you could be touched by a rainbow, in the sense that seeing a rainbow has often touched the heart/feelings of an observer!
rainbow
Because its an optical illusion. It looks like it falls on the horizion, but the more you travel towards it, it remains the same distance away. The rainbow that you actually see is only part of a circle of the rainbow in the sky. We normally only see a segment or an arc from horizion to horizion. On certain conditions when the upper level atmosphere is just right, an entire circle of the rainbow can be seen and on rare occasions, even multiple ones. == ==
You are a rainbow. Rainbows appear when sunlight is refracted and reflected in water droplets in the sky. They are colorful illusions that represent the real phenomenon of light dispersion.
It is physically impossible to reach the end of a rainbow. But in fairy tale stories you may come across people finding it. Especially in Ireland with the legend of the leprechaun. Hope this helps.
No .The mythology associated with a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow was perpetuated by the Leprechaun's themselves. Back around 6000 years ago a Leprechaun from what is now know as West Cork in Ireland was captured by a Celt who refused to let him go unless he was told where the Leprechauns kept their gold. The Leprechauns companions created a false trail and hid a small amount of gold at a point where through their magical qualities they created a Rainbow without sun or rain -he end of which fell at the point where the gold was buried. When the Celt began to dig he came across a small piece of gold and is excitement he let the Leprechaun go. This started the myth and it passed down through the generations So its true to say wherever you see a rainbow now that there is no pot of gold of it. In fact the gold is anywhere except there and thats what keeps it safe.
an illusion in the sky

None a rainbow is an illusion. You can never go under it. It will appear as if its moving away from you.
No, you cannot reach the end of a rainbow because it is an optical illusion caused by sunlight and water droplets.
We are really living reality, but this reality is an illusion. There is no ‘or’, it is ‘and’. What does it mean? You see a rainbow, and it is an illusion. You cannot ask whether it is a rainbow or an illusion. You see a mirage in a desert and it is an illusion. You see it, it exists, but its existence is an illusion. So is our life. Of course, we are living this life. There is no doubt, but our life itself is an illusion. Just like a dream. When we wake up in the morning, of course there was a dream, but the dream was an illusion. So also is this life. Although it looks very real today, at death, it will terminate to be an illusion. Therefore, we must realize how this life is nothing but an illusion.
Yes yes they are you can't find gold at the end can you no.
No, you cannot stand in a rainbow and experience its vibrant colors because a rainbow is an optical illusion created by sunlight and water droplets in the atmosphere.
