Are rainbows actually circles without an end?

Yes, but those circles are only observable from above under certain circumstances. Rainbows are the result of the refraction and reflection of light through droplets of water in the air. And they do form complete circles. A ground based observer will see only the arc (or possibly two, if conditions are right), but an observer in an aircraft or on a really, really high tower could possibly see a complete circle if (again) conditions are right.
