One doesn't have to be at any specific angle to see a rainbow. What is Dependent on seeing the rainbow is the location of the rain, and sun relative to you. The sun is always behind a rainbow when seen. So you would be in front of the rainbow, rain, and the sun. Also, No two people see the same rainbow unless a picture or video was taken of the rainbow.

Is a rainbow a bow or a circle?

A rainbow is a circle. What we see from almost any point on earth is a semicircle, or just a part of the rainbow. We can only see it from horizon to horizon, or just an arc of the whole rainbow. Occasionally we can see a full circle of a rainbow in the sky surrounding the sun, and sometimes multiple ones.


What does angle b always says to annoy angle a and c?

A! i cant see


What are the colors of the rainbow and how many colors?

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, indigo . Seven(7) colours. NB When observing a rainbow in the sky;- Red is always on the outside of the bow. Inigo(blue) is always on the inside of the bow. Outside the red arc, the sky is darker, (light bending) Inside the indigo arc, the sky is lighter, (light bending again). When observing a rainbow, the centre of the rainbow is in a direct line between the Sun(at your back), you and the rainbow centre. NNB The angle from the centre line of the rainbow to the arc is 42 degrees. NNNB A very bright rainbow will produce a reflected rainbow outside the primary rainbow; the colours are reversed.


Why the rainbow is semi circle in shape?

Actually it is circular but usually the sun needs to be quite low in the sky for the angle of the sunbeams hitting the raindrops to be suitable to create a rainbow visible from the ground. But, when that happens, a part of the rainbow is cut-off by the horizon and so it appears semicircular. Full circles are rare but have been seen/photographed.


What type of angle do you see on letter e?

Three right angles, where one of the "arms" of the angle curves inwards which makes the angle appear less than a right angle.
