Eli5 why rainbows appears in a curved shape? Why isn’t it just a random streak in the sky? What causes their signature curved look?
In: 3
Rainbows appear in a curved shape because of the way sunlight is refracted by water droplets. The sunlight is bent as it passes through the water droplets, and this causes the different colors to be separated out. The result is a beautiful, curved rainbow.
