Why Does Rain Fall On To Earth ?

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.

Friction due to atmosphere saves us from the meteors coming to earth, they are burned due to heat generated by air friction.\nFriction helps us walk and helps the working of brakes.\nThere are many to put here, refer some standard Physics books.

A low pressure system occurs in the air above the sea surface. It is where warmer, lighter air is rising. A high pressure system forms where cooler, drier, heavier air is sinking. Winds blow from areas of high pressure towards areas of low pressure.\n\nAs warm moist air over the ocean rises above a low pressure system it cools. Once the water vapour in the air cools to a certain point it condenses to form tiny water droplets which we see as clouds. If there is enough turbulence in a cloud and the cloud is big enough the water droplets clump together until they grow large enough to fall out of the cloud as rain.\n\nIn a strong low pressure system lots of warm moist air is rising rapidly and so very big clouds can form which have a great deal of turbulence inside. These are called storm clouds. Because they hold lots of moisture and because the tiny droplets of water inside collide with each other very frequently, very large raindrops can form which fall to the ground in heavy downpours.

When sun shines on water, it warms it up and since heat is lighter, the water kinda floats up into the air. That's called evaporating. Then when it's high in the sky, many little water droplets come together and from clouds. When there's too many water droplets, the cloud becomes to watery and it rains. Then it starts all over again.

It rains\nthe rain collects and then either:\n\nsoaks into the ground and comes out later\nflows into a river then the sea\n\nAt some point it evaporates and forms clouds\n\nthen it rains...\n\nsee above!

the water cycle is what it says it is,the cycle water goes through.there has always been the same amount of water in the earth at all times.basically it is recycled.water from bodies of water is evaporated and rises into the atmosphere.it isnt all H2O.it contains all of the impurities and other elements also.the partcles form clouds and when they get heavy enuogh it rains.but it isnt just rain from the beginning.as it falls ,it starts out as frozen water(snow)and as it falls toward the earth,it melts into raindrops.i hope this helps.

We have air around us. The atmosphere has high preasure and low preasure. When the high preasure area turns into low preasure, the air moves from high preasure area towards the low preasure. This movement of air from one area to another causes the wind. \n\nIt has nothing to do with clouds. The faster the low preasure area is formed, depends on whether you have clouds, or thunderstorms. Low preasure areas causes rain. This is why normally you have winds before the rain.

Wrong.  \nFrozen rain is called frozen rain (clever,eh?).\n\nHail is formed when rain is swept upward in a thunderstorm to a freezing altitude, falls and is swept up again repeatedly until the size of the hailstone is too much for the upgoing air to support.  Enough cycles of this can result in some killer size stones.........

Clouds are tiny droplets of water that have condensed on condensation nuclei such as pollen, dust, ash, & pollution in the troposphere.\n\nB/c they are very tiny and independant of each other, they tend to be suspended. This is due to various things such as updrafts, winds, etc. They are very lightweight. Only when they begin to start growing in size will gravity take over & they start to fall as rain.

They stay in the sky because they are part of our atmosphere. \n\nDefinition of a cloud - A visible body of very fine water droplets or ice particles suspended in the atmosphere at altitudes ranging up to several miles above sea level. \n\nThey aren't forced to drop to the ground unless they become larger droplets or bigger ice particles forcing them down by gravity - which is what would be rain or a storm.

The Earth is, approximately, covered under water;  (approximately 3/4ths of its \n            surface). \n            The Sun and moon --- having Attracting Power on our Planet, while our Planet \n            --- making the terrific speed of 1,037 1/3 miles on its way around the Sun. \n            The Sun draws this water up into the Earth's rotation, which is called \n            gravitation, in a fine mist that the naked eye can hardly detect.  But as this \n            mist ascends higher , and increasing with other mists of water in different \n            currents of the atmosphere, until when she becomes heavier than gravitation. \n            Then she distills back to the Earth in the form of drops of water or drops of ice, \n            which depends on how heavy the mist was, in the current of the air it was in. \n            There are some layers or currents of air --- real cold and warm, and some very \n            swift and changeable.  So when the water strikes one of these cold currents, it \n            becomes solid ice in small, round drops in form or in a light, fluffy form which is \n            called snow.  But this water is not ever drawn above six miles from the Earth's \n            surface by the Sun and moon.  The reason it rains back on our planet is \n            because it cannot get out of the earth's sphere.  With its high speed of rotating \n            around the Sun --- makes it impossible. \n            Earthquakes are caused by the Son of man by experimenting on high \n            explosion.  In fact, that all the above is caused by the Son of man.

by the effect of wind.\n      the rain comes from too height & there the speed of air is very fast 'n' due to it the angle deflected.this deflected angle is very short but the height is too large so it seems like a big deflection.

Clouds are made of water vapor.  You inhale clouds every time you walk into a patch of fog, because fog is just a cloud at ground level.  Clouds are formed when water evaporates from the surface of the Earth and makes its way upward.  The water condenses and we get a cloud.  When clouds get too laden with water, it falls in liquid form and we get rain.

What causes rain to turn into sleet? when it's raining and there is a layer of very cold air in the atmosphere, usually 32 or below, it will turn into frozen precipitation, whether is Snow, sleet. when it snows, the whole atmosphere is at 32 or below, even though your temp at ground is let's say 35. what's matter is the atmosphere temperature. when it sleets, there's got to be a layer of cold air 32 or below, then another layer of 32 or hight ( that's when it turns back into rain) and then, another layer of cold air just above ground level or tree height, that's when you get the sleet.

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

The chemistry is in the changes in the state of matter & water's properties such as cohesion & adhesion.\n\nWater is evaporated from the earth's surface, rises with warm air masses, cools & condenses on condensation nuclei w/in the upper atmosphere (property of adhesion). Clouds form & continue to build as long as there is updraft (warm rising moist air).\n\nBecause of water's property of cohesion, the tiny water droplets will begin sticking together. When they become too heavy to w/stand the pull of gravity, they will descend & fall as rain.

Rain forces down cooler air from the atmosphere.
