It might be amusing to find out!

Guess it depends on what you believe. I believe that there is a place for our fur friends who pass,and they do wait for us to collect them when we pass. Least thats what i tell my kids. Ive heard it called the rainbow bridge. Sorry for you loss.

No, someone else might see a place at the end of a rainbow that you are at, but you won't see it...,,,

The arc of a rainbow has nothing to do with the curvature of the earth.\n\nA rainbow is formed because light from the sun is double refracted back toward you. When you see a rainbow the sun will be behind you, and the centre of the rainbow will be opposite the position of the sun.\n\nOf course, the light is scattered back equally in every direction you look, so a rainbow is actually a full circle with its centre opposite the sun.\n\nHowever, unless you are in a plane looking down (when you do see a full circle - i've seen it) the point opposite the sun will be below the horizon, so part of the circle will be cut off by the horizon and you will see an arc.

They also occur as a circle, if you're in a plane (i was in a microlight) above mist/cloud it's the most spectacular sight, I looked down and there was a circular rainbow. It has to do with the fact that you're viewing it from one point, all the rainbow is relative to you.

Look for the rainbows and follow them to where they touch the ground.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Why oh why can't I?

erm... rainbow forms when the sun shows up after a rain. this is because after a rain, the air is very humid, which means got water particles. when sunlight passes through these water particles, they are split into 7 colours, because of refraction. different colours means the colours travel in different speed. the red is the fastest, while the purple is the slowest. if the 7 colours are combined together, they will form the white, or transparent, light again. keep in mind that the rainbow only forms at the opposite of the sun.

The main colors of a rainbow are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, but there isnt usually that much purple. By the way, that list is from outside to inside.

Well I think they appear as lines; fat, multicolored, curved lines.  But they aren't really "there" where we see them.  That is, other people, say a mile away from you, will see the rainbow shifted from where you see it, and that's because the rainbow's apparent direction is relative to the sun's rays that are near you.  But is this the answer to your question?  Are you asking why they're not thin? straight?  Give us something, Bea.

A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that causes a nearly continuous spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere.

between 10am -2pm the sun is high in the sky. with a high hummity it is posible to see a rainbow all the way  around the sun

Wow, not enough information to calculate. We would need the following information:\n\nYour position in latitude and longitude\nTime of day to the minute\nThe position of the clouds that are raining\n\nThen, let's state a few facts...\n\n1) Rainbows do not have a position, they are an optical illusion. The refraction/reflection can be inches away or thousands of feet. You would not necessarily know the distance by looking.\n\n2) You can only see a rainbow when the light source is behind you.\n\n3) There is no base of a rainbow because they do not exist, remember they are an optical illusion. You can see where the rainbow appears to be cut off by the ground, but there is no base. In fact if you were in the right position you could see a full circle rainbow.\n\n4) There is no location to move on a rainbow, but if you did move, yes it would look like the rainbow moved too. In fact there is no way to could be in a rainbow. HOWEVER, that does not mean a friend could not move to a position and appear to be in the rainbow, however your friend would not see the rainbow.\n\n5) Seeing dual rainbows (one at 42 degrees and the next at 50 degrees) is not uncommon. Seeing a triple or quadruple is much more unusual.\n\nSO there you go, so rainbow facts.

Take a look it's in a book the reading rainbow.

They don't have dark sides, because rainbows are light by their own nature, but they do have a "hidden half"; rainbows are actually giant circles that have their bottom half obscured by the horizon.

It is a second rainbow caused by the way light reflects inside of raindrops.  They will appear between 50 and 53 degrees above the horizon and the colors are inverted.  There is also a band of darker sky between the two, this is called an Alexander's band.

no. rainbows are actually circular, and therefore have no end or beginning. they seem to end at the horizon, but actually continue on the other side. i know it sounds weird, but if you see them from above, in an airplane, you can see the whole circle.
