A rainbow is a circle if viewed from the air, and it is sometimes not even that, if it is faint enough
internal refraction is when the ray of light is refracted, for example in a glass or plastic semicircle, and it's refracted inside the semicircle, notoutside.

RAINBOW usually occurs because of the refletion of the light of the sun.
We see rainbow due to the refraction of the sun's rays by rain .
A rainbow is an Arc Of Light therefore you con not feel it.
Semicircle
becaz the critical angle of rainbow is so large......
Arc would be my best guess. An arc is like the shape of a rainbow.
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.
No, a semicircle is not a quadrilateral
A rainbow results from sunlight passing thru raindrops that results in a prism effect that makes a complete circle. You only see a semicircle because of the horizon, but from an air plane you would see the full circle
Because at every point IN the rainbow, the angle between the direction to the sun and the direction to your eye has to be the same angle. The only bunch of points that can satisfy that requirement is a bunch of points that are all on the same circle.
The possessive form is semicircle's.
Calculating the radius of a semicircle depends on what information about the semicircle is given.
A semicircle means a half circle.
Semicircle has four syllables.
A semicircle has 180 degrees
