Reading through this was a form of nerd sniping for me, and so now I’m reading through the wikipedia article on Rainbows so I can understand why they form arcs of a circle and other details. Not sure if I’m happy or not about that yet.
It’s actually really quite neat when you finally understand all the component ideas and how they work to create the rainbow. The other day I was driving my car and noticed that the conditions were right for a rainbow, and when I looked in the correct direction, there it was. It was pretty satisfying!
