How does rain work? What is the whole process?
In: 0
Sunlight and heat evaporate water on the ground, putting it in the air
Air near the surface is typically warmer that air above it, which causes this now moisture-filled air to rise up
As air rises, it cools off, cool air can’t hold as much water in it as warmer air
Once the air is too cool to hold all of the water in it, clouds start forming
Once the cloud gets so dense that it can’t hold up the water anymore at all, it falls as rain
Rain goes to the surface and is later evaporated again, restarting the cycle
