Rainbows appear curved because each color of light in the spectrum is refracted at a slightly different angle as it passes through water droplets in the air. This causes the light to spread out into a curved arc shape when it is reflected back towards the observer.
No, rainbows form a full circle, but we only see a semicircle due to the horizon blocking the bottom half. The shape of a rainbow depends on the observer's position relative to the sunlight and water droplets that create it.
No. In order to see a rainbow in front of you, there must be a source of light behind you, and the rainbow you see will only have the colors of the source in it.
Because AT the location of every water droplet in the air, the anglebetween the direction to the sun and the direction to your eye mustbe the same. The only shape in which that's possible at every pointis a circle.
A rainbow forms a circular arc in the sky, with its center located at the antisolar point, which is the point directly opposite to the sun. However, when viewed from the ground, only a portion of the arc is usually visible to the observer due to the horizon.
They aren't; their entire shape is a complete circle. From our position during rainbow formation, we can only see half of the rainbow.

There are many. All polyhedra have ONLY flat faces but many other shapes have flat faces such as a hemisphere or an octant or a cylinder.
Yes, but only toward other eastern hemisphere dragons.
Continents located only in the Eastern hemisphere include Asia and Australia. Other continents located in the Eastern Hemisphere but also in the Western Hemisphere are Europe, Africa, and Antarctica.
A hemisphere is half of a sphere so it would have only one edge in the shape of a circle.
Because the angle formed by a line(from the sun) --> (to any point on the rainbow) and then --> (to your eye),is always the same angle, for any point on the rainbow.The only way that can happen is if the rainbow looks to you like a part of a circle.

The red kangaroo is found only in the eastern hemisphere of the southern hemisphere. It is found only in Australia.
Plaid is not in the rainbow. The rainbow consists only of pure colors- red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Plaid consists of stripes of different colors at a right angle to each other.
Greenland is the big land located in the northern hemisphere but only partially in the western hemisphere. The majority of Greenland is situated in the western hemisphere, with a small portion crossing into the eastern hemisphere.
None. The only shape with a diameter is the circle.
