The would be if the ground didn't get in the way.

If you're on a mountain or high ground looking into a valley, or looking down from

an airplane, and the sun is high behind you and the air below you is full of water

droplets, then you can see the full circle of the rainbow.

Rainbows are actually full circles, but we typically only see a portion of it due to the horizon blocking the bottom half. If you were viewing a rainbow from above or in an area with no obstructions, you would be able to see the full circular shape.

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.
