91 / 100
True

The text states that a rainbow is a full circle, visible completely only from a height.

Infact verdict: True (91/100).

The claims about rainbows being full circles and visible as such only from a height are supported by multiple reliable sources. Rainbows are indeed full circles, but typically only arcs are visible from the ground due to the horizon blocking the view. Full-circle rainbows can be seen from elevated positions where the observer is surrounded by water droplets.
