The rainbow, of course, is an image (a highly distorted image of the Sun) so the actual location (distance, height etc) of the mirror (ie the raindrops) does not affect the geometric properties of the image. It does, however, affect our psychological perception of the image eg that weird sense when you pass through the mirror reflecting an image at optical infinity.
