Why not see a rainbow from the side ?From Science Trivia


The rainbow is shaped like the circumference of the conical base with 84 degrees of solid corner.


The observer is located at the apex of the cone.


The observer sees reflecting light from the waterdrop on the circumference as a rainbow.


Even if you move anywhere, only the front of the rainbow can be seen.
