Where can I see a full 360 degree rainbow?

Question

Where can I see a full 360 degree rainbow? Is there anywhere on earth I could see a full 360 degree rainbow? How about from an aircraft?

Answer 1

Yes.
The Sun has to be relatively high, there has to be water all around you and the background in front of you (as your back is "facing" the sun) has to be dark. All three conditions are rarely together.
My first time was standing right next to a small fountain with water being sprayed all around me, the basin's bottom was dark and I was looking downward as the Sun was quite high in the sky. However, I suspect that there must have been some small parts missing (e.g., in the shadow cast by my legs).

Answer 2

Not a large one like normal since the earth is curved at such a large scale, but yes you'd need sun and water to generate a rainbow about 10ft high depending on the water amount.

Answer 3

Halo or corona (coloured rings sometimes observed around the sun or moon) are also sometype of rainbow only.They are produced by refraction of ice crystals in cirrostratus clouds(halo) or diffraction by water drops in altostratus cloud(carona).A carona is distinguished from the halo by its reversal of colour sequence(red is inside in a halo and outside in the carona).That means you have already seen a full 360 degree rainbow.Is it not?

Answer 4

you can see it from an aircraft but you have to be facing the sun and the air must be saturated w/enough water to reflect the light, prism style.

Answer 5

either the north or south poles

Answer 6

I dont think it is possible
