Rain is water droplets that have condensed from atmospheric water vapor and then fall under gravity. Rain is a major component of the water cycle and is responsible for depositing most of the fresh water on the Earth. It provides water for hydroelectric power plants, crop irrigation, and suitable conditions for many types of ecosystems.
The major cause of rain production is moisture moving along three-dimensional zones of temperature and moisture contrasts known as weather fronts. If enough moisture and upward motion is present, precipitation falls from convective clouds (those with strong upward vertical motion) such as cumulonimbus (thunder clouds) which can organize into narrow rainbands. In mountainous areas, heavy precipitation is possible where upslope flow is maximized within windward sides of the terrain at elevation which forces moist air to condense and fall out as rainfall along the sides of mountains. On the leeward side of mountains, desert climates can exist due to the dry air caused by downslope flow which causes heating and drying of the air mass. The movement of the monsoon trough, or intertropical convergence zone, brings rainy seasons to savannah climes.
The urban heat island effect leads to increased rainfall, both in amounts and intensity, downwind of cities. Global warming is also causing changes in the precipitation pattern globally, including wetter conditions across eastern North America and drier conditions in the tropics. Antarctica is the driest continent. The globally averaged annual precipitation over land is 715 mm (28.1 in), but over the whole Earth it is much higher at 990 mm (39 in). Climate classification systems such as the Köppen classification system use average annual rainfall to help differentiate between differing climate regimes. Rainfall is measured using rain gauges. Rainfall amounts can be estimated by weather radar.
Rain is also known or suspected on other planets, where it may be composed of methane, neon, sulfuric acid, or even iron rather than water.
RainViewer is a helpful app that helps users learn about weather changes, whether local or global. That also helps them track the changes in real-time of the weather and take more actions in advance to avoid bad situations. The app even has a fascinating built-in radar to ensure absolute data...
When you get caught in the rain
With nowhere to run
When you're distraught and in pain
Without anyone
When you keep crying out to be saved
But nobody comes
And you feel so far away
That you just can't find your way home
You can get there alone
It's okay, once you say
I can make it through the...

We all experience the rain in our lives, and it's important to remember the lessons it teaches us. Just like the rain, life is unpredictable. We can never know what will come our way, but it's important to remain hopeful and open to its possibilities.

Some planets produce diamond rain
Saturn and Jupiter are gas giant planets that produce a truly unique form of weather. Recently, scientists discovered that there is plenty of carbon in these atmospheres. When carbon soot gets hit by lightning, it hardens into graphite and falls downward, where...
Yes, you can smell rain
Weather patterns produce distinct smells, and one of these is a lightly pungent scent of ozone that springs from fertilizers and can be carried in a thunderstorm's downdrafts from higher altitudes, alerting those with sensitive noses that the rain is about to fall.

Lyrics
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You said you believed that we'd find love together happily
After all the wrong I've done
You feel that I'm still the one to give your loving to
So bring it home to you
You told me that you'll love me if I'd ever change
Welcome me into your arms again
Come on in out of the...
No, this is an example of a dangling participle. The subject of “waiting” should be the subject that immediately follows, “it.” But it isn’t. The subject of “waiting” never appears in the sentence at all, so we don’t know who is waiting.
It would be correct to say, “While I was waiting for the...
