This Is Why A Rainbow Always Seems To Move When You Try To Chase It

It's not teasing you on purpose, but the reason is quietly mind-bending.

You spot a perfect rainbow, run toward it for a closer look, and it politely glides away every single time.

That's because a rainbow isn't a thing sitting in one place, it's light bouncing out of raindrops at a fixed angle from wherever your eyes happen to be.

So every person standing near you is technically seeing their very own private rainbow, built from different droplets entirely.

Next rainy sunshine, stand beside someone and point at the same end, then argue about who's actually right, because you both are.
