Question: Why does a rainbow look like a curve when viewed from the ground? View Available Hint(s) for Part B Raindrops that act like a prism are present only along the curved path of the rainbow, so a viewer sees the light coming in only along a curved path. Raindrops act like prisms that reflect the colors of light in particular angles depending on how the individual colors are bent by the prism. Light seen at that angle forms a bow shape. Raindrops are present everywhere, but sunlight that creates the rainbow comes in only along a curved path, so a viewer sees the rainbow along a curved path.
