Why are rainbows always in same place?

[Wankytramphands]

Is there a scientific reason I should know? There is often a rainbow and often a double rainbow in the exact same spot (not just the sky!) in my Town never anywhere else is it the way the sun falls or something?

Thanks so much @notimagain! (NC?)! Why didn't they depict the drops as drop shaped - much easier to interpret.

That really helps, yes

Because water droplets are spherical while free-falling. They are only droplet-shaped as they detach from the object from which they fall.

Yes but it's meant as an explanatory diagram not a realistic representation!

Although I suppose you need to show a perfect sphere if talking about refraction

What an absolutely gorgeous website! Thanks
