Acid Rain is brought about through a chemical reaction which initiate even as gases like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides is relesed into the air were they blend and react with water, oxygen and different chemical substances to reason acid rain. wish it helps

The precursors of acid rain formation result from both natural sources, such as volcanoes and decaying vegetation, and man-made sources, primarily emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2)1 and nitrogen oxides (NOx)2 resulting from fossil fuel combustion.
Acid rain occurs when these gases react in the atmosphere with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form various acidic compounds. The result is a mild solution of sulfuric acid and nitric acid.

Acid precipitation occurs when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are emitted into the atmosphere, undergo chemical transformations and are absorbed by water droplets in clouds.

Sulfur Dioxide.
Sulfur bonds with O2 molecules or H20 to form acidic rain. in the form of a mild sulfuric acid.

acid rain?
oh that's easy... some orange sunshine and over the rainbow....
of course i wouldn't take them both at the same time.
