why is the rainbow arc shaped..............?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i think its actually more of a circle; you just dont see the other side of it. The roundness is a result of being refracted thru a round rain drop.

yeah true . its a circle ........... but why such a shape............... why not any other shape............ the reason behind it??????????

OpenStudy (jamesj):

A good question. If you've time, watch this video, where he elegantly explains that, among other things.
