Some rainbows can be quite huge and very far away. But if I were able to pause time and walk around the rainbow would it be visible from all angles? Or does the diffraction/ play of light only show into a certain area?

  1. No, but you can always see the rainbow if the sun is behind you.  


  2. No, there is an angle that you would position yourself and you wont be able to see th rainbow.

  3. wow,,,

  4. No,just on a perfect angle......

  5. believe it or not i think you can.

  6. yes

  7. No, just like when you spray water from the hose and see a rainbow from a certain angle, rainbows in the sky are the same way. You have to view it at a certain angle where the light would hit to show the rainbow effect.
