I don't know but I have seen two complete rainbows, one above the other.

EDIT something like this but they were more equal

Answer 2

The relative position of the sun,the raindrops and the observer is important for this optical illusion(the rainbow) to occur.There is possibility that such a criterio is met at different places of the earth at the same time and hence different rainbows at different places at the same time can be seen by different people.

Answer 3

yes its possible

Answer 4

yes and more than just 2 because the weather is different all over the earth

Answer 5

When a person looks at a rainbow he sees it starting in a certain position and ending in a certain position. However, when a second person - who is standing in another place - looks at the rainbow he will see it starting and ending in a completely different spot. So the two people are effectively seeing different rainbows, with different starting and ending positions. That's why you will never find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow!
