When rain water falls in a chimney, why does it not show up in the fireplace?

Just to add to these ideas, rain rarely falls straight down (unless the air is incredibly still) so any spare raindrops making it through the hole in your chimney will probably land somewhere on the inner wall and be absorbed into the bricks.

High up in the atmosphere where rain clouds form, the temperature is freezing cold. At these aktltitudes the water can freeze. If there is turbulance a drop of water can freeze and be caught in an updraft. A layer of water can form around the frozen rain drop, freezing too. Thti small ice ball falls within the cloud and gets caught up in another up draft. If this continues a piece of hail is produced. It becomes too heavy to stay up and falls to the ground.\n\nIn still air the water is  in vapor form and as the temperature falls below freezing point, molecules of water coalesse and form crystals. If the air is freezing cold all the way to the ground, these crystals fall as snow. If the temperature is slightly above freezing point these crystals melt and form sleet.

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

when clouds melts then it rains,its the water cycle...water evaporates due to heat n goes up n along with dust particles  it forms what we called clouds n these clouds keep floating n when temperature rises n clouds reach certain atm. pressure due to it melting,,raining occurs

It could follow metallic vent pipes (and wiring too) into the house.  But you standing in water or not is just an accident of being near the vent pipes for the shower.  You could be washing your hands just as easily or touching an electric appliance where the lightning has come down an antenna wire or such.

If you are talking about the shape that you always see in cartoons, round at the bottom and coming to a point at the top, then it doesn't.\n\nThe raindrop shape is an invention of artists or whoever.  High speed photography shows that raindrops take the shape of flattened spheres due to air resistance.\n\nYou can read about it here: http://www.islandnet.com/~see/weather/history/lenard.htm

forest fires which occur through nature leave a bed of charcoal which when water passes through filters it. when combined with evaporation, the now filtered water can be pushed via the jet stream to neighboring regions.

Several possible reasons. One is that downdrafts often form at the periphery of the clouds - which may expand a bit and drag the sides down along with them. More often, water droplets which comprise the clouds are falling. When the cloud is forming, updrafts easily suspend the water droplets. After the updrafts generally cease, then water droplets fall. Because they condensed at the level of cloud base they usually evaporate there also - but not immediately.

Actually, it wouldn't.  There will always be a vapor as long as there is a sunlight OR temperature above 32F/0C.  Even of the rain that falls, much of it goes back into the air (notice a heavy humid feeling during and immediately after a rain?).  When it sleets or snows, as soon as the sun comes out the light works by being focused by the crystal structure of the ice and literally vaporizes the ice, going straight to vapor, skipping (for the most part) the water phase.  Water likes a balance.  When water is scarse in the air, water molecules on the surface fairly leap into the air, unless the air is crowded with them already.  Fascinating cycle.

the answer is fire because if you give fire something to burn it will live, maybe even get bigger, but if you put water on it, it will go out... so the answer is... FIRE!

water on the ground, in oceans, lakes, etc. has enough energy to evaporate a little bit (all liquids have a "vapor pressure," which is higher the hotter it is).  eventually, there is too much water in the air at whatever air temperature it is, so the water re-liquifies and falls.  this can commonly happen when a warm front (warm air holds lots of water) is cooled by a cold front.

Cirrus clouds form at high altitudes and usually don't create precipitation. Also, any other form of high-level cloud, such as altocumulus, altostratus, etc. usually don't produce precipitation that reaches the ground.

They must have varying amounts of water.maybe according to how the pipes were posed and the size of the pipes and many other factors. You should have typed all the details to be able to give you the complete answer

Yup, it does.  If the air contains dust particles( also soot from car exhausts), rain drops will form a colloidal solution with the dust and carry it down to the ground, or in this case, your eyeglasses.  And when the rainwater evaporates, what are left are the dust particles.

Outward from the source at first.  As it becomes larger, it moves in the same direction as the wind is blowing.  Fires also move more readily up a slope than they do down a slope.

It depends.  Wood floats on water, as does ice.  Rocks sink.

It works by removing the water vapour (like steam) from the air. Water vapour condenses back to a solid for when it meets a cold surface. The water then appears as if from knowhere (as in condensation on a glass or can containing a cold drink) This action takes place when the dew point of the vapourised liquid is reached
