I read through 5 different explanations and they were all incorrect.
Here is the right answer given by some obscure comment:
"There is a lot more to a rainbow than meets the eye. The round center is located on the line between the sun behind you and the center of your vision. To view the same rainbow a bystander would have look through the back of your head at eye level. Your rainbow is unique ... it's yours! Now why are rainbows curved? They are not only curved but are part of a complete circle. If you are high enough [vantage point] say in an airplane, and the sun is low enough behind you, you will see the complete circle. [ http://www.birdseyeviewphotography.com.au/blog/?p=1412 ] We only see the upper section when at ground level. Particles of water occurring in a down-sun rainfall cause the sun's rays to refract and they split into the familiar color bands. (Remember the prism). Have enough of these particles occurring in sequence and the light paths scatter all over the place. You see the ones that are eventually directed back along your sight path. [...] Every part of the rainbow that you see is equidistant from you. [...] The distance from your eye to every point of the rainbow is the same everywhere you look. [Hold a measuring stick on your forehead and notice at all points the edge makes a ROUND curve around you as you turn your head]. So is your rainbow. " --Tim Bowra, Rozelle

Notice how they never discuss or debate but instead put up silly strawmen to attack.

The sun causes rainbows, and the sun is round. Does OP think the earth makes rainbows or something?

Lol. Imagine understanding it's not the earth's shape but then surmising it's actually the sun's shape.
