All the rainbows that appear naturally, are usually semicircles, what is the reason for this, they could also be as little arcs as well. Are there any conditions under which a complete circle of the rainbow may be seen?

A complete circle rainbow is caused by the refraction and reflection of sunlight through water droplets in the air. This creates a full 360 degree circle of colorful light.
A complete circle rainbow can be seen when the sun is low on the horizon and there are water droplets in the air, such as during or after rain. They are most commonly seen in places with high humidity and clear skies, like near waterfalls or in tropical regions.
Complete circle rainbows are considered rare because they require specific conditions to occur - a low sun angle, water droplets in the air, and clear skies. They are also not as easily visible as traditional rainbows because they appear on the opposite side of the sky from the sun.
Yes, there are two main types of circle rainbows - a full circle rainbow and a partial circle rainbow. A full circle rainbow is when the entire 360 degree circle is visible, while a partial circle rainbow is when only a portion of the circle can be seen.
To capture a photo of a complete circle rainbow, it is best to use a wide angle lens and position yourself so that the sun is behind you. This will increase your chances of capturing the full circle. Additionally, using a polarizing filter can help enhance the colors of the rainbow.
