How can the diameter of a rainbow be measured?

To quote from the great SNL philosopher, Mango, "Can you touch a rainbow ? Can you put the wind in your pocket? No! Such is Mango." I think he has it right. I don't know much about the optics of rainbows, but I'm pretty sure they move relative to the observer, so they do not have an objective diameter. At least that's what I thought until I found this answer on the magical internet here : "It's probably not impossible, but it is difficult. A rainbow looks circular because it's basically the circle where a cloud of rain droplets intersects with your cone of vision, like the circle on the end of an ice-cream cone.

Now make the cone bigger and bigger until the round end hits the cloud of raindrops that are reflecting the sun's light.
