Rain is the most prominent weather phenomenon. Adequate amount of rain helps life to sustain on Earth however excess or shortage of rain can cause catastrophe too. For a long period the science behind the formation of rain was unknown. After the invention of weather radar it became possible to discover the stages by which rain is formed. Rain plays a very important role in the agricultural. It also brings moisture in the atmosphere. Basically rain formation takes place in 3 stages.

Formation of Rain:

Step1: Innumerable air bubbles formed by the foaming of the oceans continuously burst and thus cause water particles that ejects towards the sky. These particles are very rich in salt and carried away by winds and rise upward in the atmosphere. These particles are known as aerosols, they function as water traps, and form cloud drops by collecting around the water vapor themselves, which rises from the seas as tiny droplets. Clouds contain huge numbers of tiny droplets of moisture.

Step 2: The clouds formed from water vapor in first step condenses around the salt crystals or dust particles in the air. As the water droplets in these clouds are very small, somewhere around a diameter between 0.01 and 0.02 mm, the clouds are suspended in the air, and spread across the sky. Thus the sky is covered with clouds before rain occurs.

We always studied in our chemistry book that Two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen makes H20, the element better known as water. As it is available easily everywhere we take it for granted ignoring its importance and huge benefits.Water has been used since ancient times as a symbol by which to express devotion and purity.

Some cultures, like the ancient Greeks, went as far as to worship gods who were thought to live in and command the waters. Do you know water makes up more than two thirds of the weight of the human body, and without it, humans would die in a few days. The human brain is made up of 95% water, blood is 82% and lungs 90%.
