From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rain is
liquid precipitation. On Earth, it is the
condensation of atmospheric
water vapor into
drops heavy enough to fall, often making it to the surface. Rain is the primary source of fresh water for most areas of the world, providing suitable conditions for diverse
ecosystems, as well as water for
hydroelectric power plants and crop
irrigation. However, not all rain reaches the surface; some evaporates while falling through dry
air. This is called
virga, a phenomenon often seen in hot, dry
desert regions.
Oh! That's what rain is. Sorry had to look it up since it's been a loooong while since it's rained here.
Feel free to send some this way!
