the weight of evidence
no sources on either side

Rainbows are an optical phenomenon formed by the refraction, internal reflection, and dispersion of light in water droplets, which consistently emerge at a characteristic angle of approximately 42 degrees relative to the anti-solar point for the primary bow. This is a matter of basic physical optics and everyday observation requiring no formal citation.

The analysis

The claim states a fundamental, well-understood law of geometrical optics regarding atmospheric rainbows (the primary rainbow's ~42-degree angle). By the instructions, statements that are trivially true by definition or direct everyday observation are categorized as COMMON_KNOWLEDGE, with no citations or paper indices attached.
