Rain is the primary source of fresh water for most areas of the world. It is also providing suitable conditions for diverse ecosystems. In addition, rain water is also for for hydroelectric power as well as plants and crop irrigation. Rain provides us life. However, how does rain happen?

The phenomenon of rain is actually a water circle. The concept of the water cycle involves the sun heating the Earth’s surface water and causing the surface water to evaporate. The water vapor then rises into the Earth’s atmosphere. The water in the atmosphere cools and condenses into liquid droplets. The droplets grow until they are heavy and fall to the earth.

When the doprelts fall to the earth, it is called rain. The rain can be in the form of water or snow. However, not all rain reaches the surface. Some evaporates while falling through dry air. This is called virga, a phenomenon which is often seen in hot, dry desert regions.
