why is it in a raindrop the sky is on the bottom and grass is on the top?

Same phenomenon happens when you look through a convex lens or at your reflection in a spoon. Something to do with the movement of light. It bends and shows stuff the other way around. Sorry, it's not my expertise. But that's basically how it happens.

Because the sun is going down or coming up

It's because the tops of mountains has colder temperature than the bottom, that warm air rise up from the earth's heat to the air where they condense, form into clouds around the tip of the mountain is the land which is most coldest. At that position, it is a spot where clouds can be seen most often.

I'll tell you why. Because if it were falling in a direction away from Earth, it wouldn't actually be falling at all, now would it?\n\nSee here's the process for rain. Heat causes water to evaporate into the atmosphere. When enough water accumulates together, it starts to look like clouds. And then, when it really starts accumulating, it begins to become too heavy to stay up there, so it falls back down to Earth.. Right, due to the Earth's gravitational pull.

Gravity...or if you mean why doesn't it come over the land...then that is because the land is higher then the sea, hence there is not enough water in the sea to raise it above the land.

Wow. If the air at ground level is very dry, the rain will evaporate before it can hit the ground. This is called "virga."

Maybe the ground temperature is hotter. Its temperature doesn't count on outside factor. The sun is just 1 factor.

The sky is blue because light reflects off oxygen molecules in the atmosphere, which makes it blue.\n\nGrass is green because of the chlorophyll in the grass.\n\nWater is wet because our nervous system detects it as such.

The sky is blue due to the way that light is bent, it's called Rayleigh Scattering.  Sunlight is white and white light consists of all colors but when it hits our atmosphere the light is broken up into it's component colors by the particles in the atmosphere.  The shortest wavelengths don't make it through the particles but the blue light does - hence the sky appears blue when in fact it has no color ro it (it is after all, nothing but air and water).\n\nAs others have said - grass is green because of chlorophyll - the chemical in all plants and it just happens to be green.

Because the sky is blue, ground is brown and grass is green

because the sun has gone over the horizon

It is called a rain forest because at the end of the day you will find that it will always rain. The sun heats the earth and warms the air above it. As it rises it cools and forms clouds. By the time this has happened it is the end of the day and it starts to pour down. The sun only heats the earth to a temperature high enough near the equator because that part is nearest the sun. You won't find this happening anywhere else except the equator and so you don't find tropical rainforests anywhere esle.

The water is in the form of a vapor or gas, like steam.  When the vapor becomes concentrated enough to form droplets, it turns to rain.

You're obviously not looking hard enough!  After it's been raining (not this week) and the sun is coming out again, look at a cloud, a dark one is better than a light one, and you should be able to see how the edge of the cloud appears to be lined with silver

because the rain god rides on a plane that follows a train that cannot cross a moraine...\n\nand where ever that train goes that plane follows with the rain god, bringing the rain.

The arc is what YOU see. the truth is that it is a complete circle obscured by the horizon. The colors are not created by the raindrops (moisture droplets would be more accurate) but by the angle the light is shining through them. it is a relative thing as well meaning the view or lack of depends on your perspective. No matter how scientifically I describe this; a rainbow is an amazing thing and I hope you enjoy every one you see!
