Do two people ever see the same rainbow?
No.
As the eyes of two people cannot
occupy the same place in space at the
same time, each observer sees a different
rainbow.
Why?
Well, because the raindrops are
constantly in motion so its appearance
is always changing. Each time you see a
rainbow, it is unique in its own spectacular
way! Many people consider rainbows to be
an omen of some kind. It is an ancient
desire rooted in our cultural mythologies
Can you go under a rainbow’s arch and
come out the other side?
Not according to the laws of physics.
A rainbow is all light and water.
It is always in front of you while your
back is to the sun.
However, there is an old European
belief that anyone passing
beneath the rainbow would be transformed,
man into woman, woman into man!
When light and water meet in the sky
on a summer’s day, for a few moments,
a rainbow will appear. Such a beautiful
sight! This phenomena of the atmosphere
appears during or immediately following
local showers, when the sun is shining
and the air contains raindrops.
A rainbow can best be seen with polarized
sunglasses. We cannot follow the arc of a
rainbow down below the horizon, because we
cannot see those droplets in the air below
the horizon. But the higher we are above the
ground, the more of the rainbow circle we
would see. That is why, from an airplane in
flight, a rainbow will appear as a complete
circle with the shadow of the aitplane in
the center.
