Rain ,the days and terms

Rain rain go away
rain rain go away

The kidz group started to sing the different ryhmes about rain,I just fold the newspaper which briefly discussed about rain.It described and narrated everything about rain I want to research about rain in life.Rain water is the key to create the terminology to feel as enjoying the days and rain is also important part of my life.I start preaching my kidz group about raindrops I know something,a kindergarten kidz is the bestie to understand and analyze my terms about rain .

Rain is liquid precipitation: water falling from the sky. Raindrops fall to Earth when clouds become saturated, or filled, with water droplets. Millions of water droplets bump into each other as they gather in a cloud. When a small water droplet bumps into a bigger one, it condenses, or combines, with the larger one. As this continues to happen, the droplet gets heavier and heavier. When the water droplet becomes too heavy to continue floating around in the cloud, it falls to the ground. 


Human life depends on rain. Rain is the source of freshwater for many cultures where rivers, lakes, or aquifers are not easily accessible. Rain makes modern life possible by providing water for agricultureindustryhygiene, and electrical energy. Governments, groups, and individuals collect rain for personal and public use. 

Raindrops condense around microscopic pieces of material called cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). CCN can be particles of dustsaltsmoke, or pollution. Brightly colored CCN, such as red dust or green algae, can cause colored rain. Because CCN are so tiny, however, color is rarely visible.

When rain forms around certain types of pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, the CCN react with water to make the rain acidic. This is called acid rainAcid can harm plants, aquaticanimals like fish and frogs, and the soil. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide can be released into the atmosphere naturally, such as through a volcanic eruption. These pollutants can also be released by human activity, such as the burning of fossil fuels. 

Burning fossil fuels can influence rain patterns. In urban areas, where many vehicles are on the road at once, rainfall is more likely during the weekend than during the week. This is because during the week, millions of cars release exhaust into the atmosphere, creating billions of CCN in the clouds. By the end of the week, clouds are much more likely to be saturated with moisture and CCN. Rain is up to 25 percent more likely on a Saturday than on a Monday in some urban areas.

Scientists have developed a process called cloud seeding to "plant" CCNs in clouds to cause rain. Cloud seeding would reduce drought, although there is very little evidence that it works yet.

Although most people think raindrops look like teardrops, they actually look more like chocolate chip cookies. Like raw balls of dough dropped on a cookie sheet, the smallest raindrops, up to 1 millimeter in diameter, are actually spherical. At 2 millimeters raindrops start to flatten, because of the air pressure pushing up on them as they fall to Earth. This effect is increased at 3 millimeters, and depressions form on the bottom of the drops as the air pushes up on the drops harder. At 4 millimeters raindrops actually distort into a shape that looks like a parachute. When they get to be about 4.5 millimeters in diameter, raindrops are so big that they break apart into two or more separate drops. 

Raindrops measure 0.5 millimeter (.02 inches) in diameter or larger. Drizzle, which is smaller than rain, consists of drops smaller than 0.5 millimeter. Most of Earth's precipitation falls as rain. 

Raindrops often begin as snowflakes, but melt as they fall through the atmosphere. Snow forms in the same way rain does, but in colder conditions. 

Rain falls at different rates in different parts of the world. Dry desertregions can get less than a centimeter (0.4 inches) of rain every year, while tropical rain forests receive more than a meter (3.2 feet). The world record for the most rain in a single year was recorded in Cherrapunji, India, in 1861, when 2,296 centimeters (905 inches) of rain fell.

My chapter about rain in the local newspaper ends with the silent music on the pavement which attracts my mind and I just feel awaken by heart.
