Answer #1: No, it is not possible to get to the end of a rainbow. A rainbow is actually a full circle of color in the sky. But, from our perspective on Earth, we only see the top half and the two ends of the arch only appear to touch the ground.

Here is a twist to the answer that will surprise you. The answer is yes AND no. You cannot get to the end of the rainbow that you are looking at. But in fact you might BE at the end of the rainbow (at least the apparent end of it) that someone else is looking at a mile or two away. If that person moved to where you are, he would see the rainbow that you see, and not the one he saw at his former location. The rainbow is NOT one single event happening at one specific location. The atmosphere is acting like a huge prism, and the appearance of 'the' rainbow depends as much on your location as it does on the location of the sun and the right amount of moisture in the air.

Answer #2: Yes, it is possible to get to the end of a rainbow. By "the end of the rainbow", I mean a specific location on the ground where the arc of a rainbow touches down. Ironically enough, there is even something there that resembled a "pot of gold".
There may or may not be a mechanistic explanation congruent with our cultural tradition of physics that is adequate for this, but nonetheless, it is real, and the world doesn't really care what we think is possible and is not possible.
I have been to the end of a rainbow, in Europe as a military helicopter pilot, and while at the end of the rainbow I observed the phenomenon carefully. The factual nature of what myself and other professionals witnessed at the end of that rainbow has always provided me with some liberating laughter when I read the technical explanations written with such certainty by many. Take everything we scientists say with a grain or two of salt.
No, a rainbow is an optical illusion caused by the refraction, dispersion, and reflection of light in water droplets in the atmosphere. The appearance of a rainbow varies depending on the observer's position, so it doesn't have a physical end point that can be reached.
If you're talking about in myths and stories, then traditionally the rainbow ends in a pot of gold in some mythical, magical forest.
However, if you are talking about in real life, no, rainbows do not have and end because rainbows are simply reflections of light in the remaining water particles. It was the same effect in a sprinkler.
no. it is actually the sun's rays bouncing off of the moister particles in the air which creates a series of different colors and patterns to make a rainbow as we know it.
although there have been many rumors that rainbows are just a circle and that is why they are never ending!

It is actually impossible to put yourself at the end of a rainbow. As you move towards where you see the end of the rainbow to be, the rainbow moves so you can never get to the end.
No. You cannot. A rainbow is just a refraction of light, similar to the way the sky is blue. If the earth wasnt in the way, it would be a complete circle
no its a light in the atmosphere that looks like it can end and they said im a stupid 11 year old they can all die!
You just can't find the end of the rainbow because it can go away soon or it could just be in the sky and it's not in the sky connecting to the ground.
Because you can't get on a rainbow. Also THERE IS NO WAY TO GET ON A RAINBOW. Finally, a rainbow is just a mix of sunlight and rain.

Where do you find the rainbow with the gold pot at the end of it?
Realistically, There is no end to a rainbow, for the reason that a rainbow is a circle of continuous light. Unrealistically, a leprechaun hide gold at the end of a rainbow, at the time no one knowing that there is no end to a rainbow. Why gold?

Where is the start of the rainbow and the end of the rainbow?
The start of a rainbow is where the sunlight enters raindrops and gets refracted, which results in the colorful arc we see. The end of a rainbow is an optical illusion; it doesn't have a physical location. When you see a rainbow, it will always appear as a circle, but the ground obstructs the view of the lower half.
