True or False

A rainbow is always a full circle, but we usually only see half of it.

Rainbows form when sunlight reflects and bends in raindrops, and they are basically round. From the ground, we only see the upper half because the horizon blocks the lower part. If you look at a rainbow from an airplane, you can sometimes see the whole circle! This happens because of how light bends and our viewing angle.
