    Is the cross section of a cone not a circle, or semi circle in this case since we only see part of the “cone”?

      This. We don’t as people define a rainbow as the path of light or anything like that. We define a rainbow as a circle of colors in the sky. That’s how language works.

      Right, your point is taken but the point is more to explain the full portion of the rainbow. Not just the section you see.

        Every person sees a rainbow in a different location because rainbows are an optical phenomenon not a real object - in that sense rainbows are occupying the entire space, not just a cone even. The expansion is dumb.

      Even if it was a semi-circle, why would we call it a bow? It doesn’t look like a bow for archery, a bow for music, or a bow for fashion. 🤷‍♂️

      If it freezes on the way down does it become a snowcone?

    If everyone is special, then no one is.

    A rainbow is a participation award.

    My old apartment used to be set up in just such a way that after a midday shower, you would see a small Brocken Spectre’s centered around each of your eyes when you looked in the mirror. It was honestly kind of terrifying. The first time I noticed it, I wondered if I’d finally lost it.
    Glowing circles around your black eyes in a fogged mirror.

    I think that means I have the opposite of a pot of gold in me.

    Once i was driving a rig through ohio eastbound and seen a rainbow ahead, and they’re hard to predict with the untrained eye, but i said to myself, fuckin hilarious if i hit the end of the rainbow a couple miles west of Columbus.

    And that is where i personally saw the end of a rainbow, like that spectral vision dropped into the middle of I-70, where traffic was fucked from collisions because people were you know

      Because that is where the water droplets are. If you mist a hose in front of you on a sunny day, you’ll see the rainbow close.
