Rainbows appear as circles when viewed from above because the sunlight is refracted and reflected inside raindrops, creating a full circle of colors.
The end of a rainbow is a myth, as rainbows are actually full circles and cannot be reached.
Common questions about rainbows include: How are rainbows formed? Why do rainbows have different colors? Can you touch a rainbow? Are double rainbows rare? What causes a rainbow to disappear?
Rainbows are actually full circles, but we usually only see a semicircle due to the ground blocking the bottom half. So, a rainbow doesn't have an end, but it appears to end because of our perspective.
Rainbows form when sunlight is refracted and reflected in water droplets in the atmosphere. Vibrations alone do not cause rainbows to form.
No, rainbows are created by the refraction and dispersion of sunlight by water droplets in the atmosphere. Ultraviolet rays are not directly responsible for creating rainbows.
Earth does.
No. A rainbow is really a circle. You can only see part of it when you're on land, but if you happen to see one below you while you're in an airplane, you can often see the full circle.
They actually form circles, you just only see the top half.
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.

No one made the rainbows. Rainbows are a naturally occurring phenomenon.
The main types of rainbows are primary rainbows, which are the most common and visible, and secondary rainbows, which are fainter and have reversed colors. Other types include supernumerary rainbows, twinned rainbows, and reflection rainbows.

I have heard (Read: Urban Legend) that aircraft pilots commonly report seeing rainbows that are entirely circular. This is something I have not as yet experienced, hence the "Urban Legend" annotation.

Underground teen culture term- when a group of girls and guys get together for an oral sex party. Girls wear different shades of lipstick thereby creating "rainbows" on the participating guys.
