A rainbow is formed by the diffraction of sunlight through water droplets in the air. Rainbows are circular because they represent reflections of sunlight off of drops of water and into your eyes. The shape formed by all those rays is a cone and thus the projected surface is a circle. The different colors result because different wavelengths are bent in the drops and reflected at different angles. We see a semicircle because the horizon cuts the other half.

Answer:
If we draw rays of sunlight that reflect at 42 degrees into your eyes then those rays start to look like they form a circular arc in the sky. So the reflection gives you the shape of the rainbow, while the refraction gives you the colours of the rainbow. ... From the air you can see circular rainbows.
