well that was an interesting story deerolmind...
but i'm sure of one thing that full circle rainbows do exist...my teacher told me abt it... n its even written in a book... though i havent read it yet... but that's not the point... the thing is most pilots also see it... n they're very lucky also... but the question is can someone see it on ground?????or has anyone ever seen that

Actually u can see a full cycle rainbow if u are in the air during such a time. u can't see it from the ground bcoz ur view will be blocked by the horizon.for ex sometimes u may have seen a ring around the moon that is a very good xample of a full cycle rainbow.

well...lie...
Full circle rainbows doesn't exist! A rainbow is formed when white light coming from sun is scattered in VIBGYOR by drop of watter. If the light ray is completely passing through the drop (hope I m clear at this) then no rainbow is formed.
But, if a ray is passed through water droplet then rainbow will be formed.
But, to form a complete circle, there should be 2 rays and they will pass from below and above (and between) the water droplets. Hence no rainbow will be formed.
Therefore, complete circle rainbow aren't formed!
Moreover, if a complete cirlce rainbow is to be formed, the light ray should first travel down (possible) and then up (not possible)

i didnt kinow there was such a thing ,someone lied to you .i have seen one touch the ground ,that was pretty neat.my brother and i were in his fishing boat.and it had just rained before we put into the water and a few days before some one had killed a little boy and his dad at the water bank close to where we were and they had robbed a bank and killed them to make an escape in there car a different car .so they did catch them ,and i thought they might have hid the money in the hollow that the rain bow was touching down into cause they say at the end of every rainbow there is a pot of gold ..just wanted to share that with you .

Wow! I easily have in no way heard of any such siting. I easily have in undemanding words considered 2 rainbows jointly yet, they weren't thoroughly finished. i am going to objective to do a touch diagnosis on that. If i stumble upon some thing, i am going to positioned up some photos on myspace.

Most pilots have seen them. If your altitude is great enough so the horizon doesn't get in the way, you'll be able to see a full circle rainbow.

Yes, I have. They occur regularly if you look into a rainstorm when flying on a jet plane at altitude. The refraction of the light is not broken by the horizon in that event.
