Where does all this rain come from .?

Answer 1

from the collection or water vapors that has evaporated in the atmosphere......then it was heated by the sun and it goes down to the earth by gravity.... this is a simple water cycle..... goes on and on...

Answer 2

Rain came from the sea when it is evaporated....thus producing water vapors that accumulate at the top and now called clouds....as these clouds get heavy water from water vapor pour down as rain.

Answer 3

The prevailing Westerly winds pick up moisture from the Atlantic Ocean as they pass over it creating clouds of water vapour - when they approach a colder land mass the clouds of vapour condense into either rain, hail, sleet or snow.

Answer 4

Rain is a form of precipitation, other forms of which include snow, sleet, hail, and dew. Rain forms when separate drops of water fall to the Earth's surface from clouds. Not all rain reaches the surface, however; some evaporates while falling through dry air. When none of it reaches the ground, it is called virga, a phenomenon often seen in hot, dry desert regions. The scientific explanation of how rain forms and falls is called the Bergeron process.

Rain in nature
Rain plays a role in the hydrologic cycle in which moisture from the oceans evaporates, condenses into clouds, precipitates back to earth, and eventually returns to the ocean via streams and rivers to repeat the cycle again. There is also a small amount of water vapor that respires from plants and evaporates to join other water molecules in condensing into clouds.

The amount of rainfall is measured using a rain gauge. It is expressed as the depth of water that collects on a flat surface, and can be measured to the nearest 0.27 mm or 0.01 in. It is sometimes expressed in litres per square metre (1 liter/m² = 1 mm).

Falling raindrops are often depicted in cartoons or anime as "teardrop-shaped" — round at the bottom and narrowing towards the top — but this is incorrect. Only drops of water dripping from some sources are tear-shaped at the moment of formation. Small raindrops are nearly spherical. Larger ones become increasingly flattened on the bottom, like hamburger buns; very large ones are shaped like parachutes.[1]The shape of raindrops was studied by Philipp Lenard in 1898. He found that small raindrops (less than about 2 mm diameter) are approximately spherical. As they get larger (to about 5 mm diameter) they become more doughnut-shaped. Beyond about 5 mm they become unstable and fragment. On average, raindrops are 1 to 2 mm in diameter. The biggest raindrops on Earth were recorded over Brazil and the Marshall Islands in 2004 — some of them were as large as 10 mm. The large size is explained by condensation on large smoke particles or by collisions between drops in small regions with particularly high content of liquid water.


Raindrops impact at their terminal velocity, which is greater for larger drops. At sea level and without wind, 0.5 mm drizzle impacts at about 2 m/s, while large 5 mm drops impact at around 9 m/s [2].

Generally, rain has a pH slightly under 6. This is because atmospheric carbon dioxide dissolves in the droplet to form minute quantities of carbonic acid, which then partially dissociates, lowering the pH. In some desert areas, airborne dust contains enough calcium carbonate to counter the natural acidity of precipitation, and rainfall can be neutral or even alkaline. Rain below pH 5.6 is considered acid rain.

Rain is said to be heavier immediately after a bolt of lightning. The cause of this phenomenon is traceable to the bipolar aspect of the water molecule. The intense electric and magnetic field generated by a lightning bolt forces many of the water molecules in the air surrounding the stroke to line up. These molecules then spontaneously create localized chains of water (similar to nylon or other "poly" molecules). These chains then form water droplets when the electric/magnetic field is removed. These drops then fall as intensified rain.

Answer 5

it gets absorbs by the ocean and then gets made into clouds and when the clouds get to heavy it bursts open this process is used plenty of tim this helps and have a great christmas and new year xx

Answer 6

In summary of what everyone said, its all a partof the Water Cycle of the Earth.

Answer 7

That's an incorrect phrase! You could have asked How does rainfall occur? A sane answer would be - due to condensation! an insane one would be - when god decides to piss!!

Answer 8

its to do with sea and sky the sea form cloads in the atmosphere

Answer 9

dark clouds
