What is rain?

Answer 1

Rain is just an accumulation of moisture that has evaporated from the service of the Earth. There is moisture in the air and it so light it actually floats. As it gathers in the skies, eventually clouds will form.

The clouds are still lighter than air, hence they float. The moisture keeps accumulating until it becomes to heavy to float. At that point is falls to the earth and the cycle begins again.

The earth has all the water it ever will. No more or no less... it just moves around.

Answer 2

There is moisture in the air, we call it humidity. When the conditions are right this moisture condenses into droplets of water that are big enough to fall to earth. Usually water has to 'condense' on something, usually dust. The same thing happens to a class of cold drink in the summer. Anyway when enough tiny bits of water collect (condense) together then the weight of that droplet of water will fall causing rain. Air with low humidity or little water can form less rain then humid air. This is why Deserts have less opportunities for Rain as Jungles and Rainforests do.

Answer 3

Rain is a form of precipitation.

The water cycle:
Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation.

Water evaporates from the Earth's surface, and becomes a gas in the atmosphere. When conditions permit, the vapor condenses on microparticles of dust and dirt in the atmosphere, causing clouds. When the point of saturation (Temp. and Dew Point) are the same, the condensation falls as precipitation. (Hail, Snow, Sleet, Rain etc.)

Answer 4

The precipitation aspect of the water cycle.

Water is evaporated from local bodies of water - lakes and oceans. Some of it is transformed into water vapor - AKA clouds. Sometimes the water droplets are too heavy, and they fall as rain, snow, or hail. Where you live effects whether or not you'd see snow or rain.

Hope that helps.

Answer 9

water. precipitaion. evaporated water that went into the clouds from a river or ocean.

Answer 10

its the stuff that falls from the sky once clouds have too much of it.
