Question

Can a rainbow in the sky be seen from space? ?

Answer 1

No. Because if you look down on the Earth from space you'd see a blue layer just above the surface!

Answer 2

There ain't no rain or water droplets in space; so you can't see.

Answer 3

no idea, but i don't think u could see a rainbow from that far.

Answer 4

Are you planning on going to space? No? Well do you realize the insane timing it would take to see the exact spot where a Rainbow is on earth? Even if you did time it out, the answer is no, it is MUCH to small to see from space. You would need a rainbow the size of the country to be able to see it from space, and even then, it would have to be CRYSTAL CLEAR from the ground, as if it were actually there.

Answer 5

This would be rather difficult.  The rainbow would have to be at an angle  fairly close to between the sun and the observer.  (The water molecules and rain act as a prism, seperating the sun into it's visible spectrum electromagnetic components, which is all a rainbow is).

Seeing how most rain falls from clouds that can't be seen through,  even at an incredibly fortunate angle from say, an orbiting satellite, the clouds would get in the way of this.  This doesn't even take into account size issues, and the reflectivity of whatever is behind the rainbow.  I'm going to answer this question with a "no," for the information I've listed above.  But I'm not fully sure about this, so criticism is welcome.

Answer 6

nice question but  anyway i think no

Answer 7

No.  

Answer 8

Rainbows exist only when a cloud of liquid droplets is lit from behind by a white light source (usually the Sun).  The cloud of droplets must be between you and the light source.

From space, the Earth gets in the way, except on the very edge, where you're looking through too much atmosphere to see anything anyway.

You will not see rainbows from space, except when you vent a liquid (urine, for example) out of a ship and the droplets move between you and the Sun.

Answer 9

no because a rainboware optical illusions and meteorological phenomena that cause a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere. They take the form of a multicoloured arc, with red on the outer part of the arch and violet on the inner section of the arch. More rarely, a secondary rainbow is seen, which is a second, fainter arc, outside the primary arc, with colours in the opposite order, that is, with violet on the outside and red on the inside.

A rainbow spans a continuous spectrum of colours. Traditionally, however, the sequence is quantised. The most commonly cited and remembered sequence, in English, is Newton's sevenfold red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. "Roy G. Biv" and "Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain" are popular mnemonics.

Rainbows can be caused by other forms of water than rain, including mist, spray, dew, fog, and ice. Moreover, rainbows can have shapes other than a bow (arc), including stripes, circles, or even flames.

that is the reason you cannot see it in space
