Why doesn't it rain everywhere in the world at the same time?

Question

please be detailed :)

Answer 1

Rain is part of the hydrologic cycle. The hydrologic cycle is one mechanism the earth uses to keep energy balanced throughout the atmosphere which is its goal. Unfortunately, the sun keeps heating up only part of the earth each day mostly around the equator. Hotter air rises and then moves north. When the northward moving air gets cooled enough, it begins to sink. This region of sinking air can be seen on your nightly weather maps as big H's. High pressure ridges are areas of dense, sinking air. Since rainfall is usually caused by rising air, these areas are usually not conducive to rainfall. This basic description of the airflow due to the sun's uneven heating is called the Hadley Cycle. Try using that term in Wikipedia for a more thorough explanation.

Answer 2

Rain comes from clouds which are made up of water vapor that has been evaporated and recombine into water molecules, the high the clouds the colder the water gets and when it gets heavy it falls back down if it is cold enough you get hail or snow. but the entire earth is not covered in clouds, there are some parts of earth where there is rarely cloud cover so it rarely rains. Places near the ocean tend to have more regular rainfall due to the increased moisture fromt he ocean.

Answer 3

Very simply, air rises in low pressure systems and descends in high pressure systems. Air that rises in one place has to descend in another. Cloud forms in rising air so cloud is associated with low pressure systems. The air cannot rise everywhere in the world at the same time so you cannot get cloud or rain everywhere at the same time.

Answer 4

Weather is formed by a system of air currents.
These are influenced by temperature & pressure.
Warm water evaporates & rises to form clouds.
When clouds pass over high land, they condense.
Sometimes the temperature is low enough to form ice.
When moisture condenses it falls as rain.

Answer 5

because rain comes from clouds and clouds dont span the entire world. Theyre only about as big as a town.
