What is the diameter of a rainbow?

A rainbow is actually a full circle, but when viewed from the ground, only the top half is visible. The diameter of a full rainbow is approximately equal to the distance from the observer to the shadow of their head. The visible part of a rainbow can appear to have a diameter of around 40 to 42 degrees.


Why is a rainbow a parabola?

A rainbow is not a parabola, but rather a circle or part of a circle. The shape of a rainbow is determined by the way light is refracted, reflected, and dispersed in water droplets in the atmosphere, creating a circular arc in the sky.


Why the rainbow is in the shape of arc?

A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection of light in water droplets. The rainbow is a circle with the anti-solar point in the middle (the shadow of your eye or the camera capturing the rainbow). The circle of the primary rainbow has a specific angular width of 42° from the anti -solar point. The rainbow is not located at a specific distance, but comes from any water droplets viewed from a certain angle relative to the Sun's rays. Thus, a rainbow is not a physical object, and cannot be physically approached. Indeed, it is impossible for an observer to manoeuvre to see any rainbow from water droplets at any angle other than the customary one of 42 degrees from the direction opposite the Sun. If you use a garden hose to spray droplets when it is sunny out you can see the entire ring and indeed from airplanes and cliff edges I have seen almost entire circles from rain.

What part of a rainbow is the shadow from your head?

The shadow from your head is located at the center of a rainbow. This occurs because rainbows are formed opposite the sun in the sky at a 42-degree angle. The center of the rainbow is directly opposite the sun, which is why the shadow of your head aligns with the center of the rainbow.
