We all know as to why we see a rainbow. But why do we see it in a the form a circular arc. Why not a straight line or anything else?

I was reading one book and that gave some reason that eyes make the a particular angle at the light from the drops of water. We all know the first part that we see a rinbow only at a particular angle, but I didn't get an answer as to why it arcs??
