| Caption | A horizontal rainbow fills a valley in the Whetstone Mountains near Tucson, Arizona, on the afternoon of August 8, 2022. A horizontal rainbow occurs when the sun is around 40 degrees above the horizon, and the center of the rainbow (which is always located opposite the sun) is thus located 40 degrees below the horizon. Since a rainbow's arc has a radius of 42 degres, only the very topmost section is visible, just above the horizon and appearing as a horizontal band of color. | |
