Rain
Rain is a type of
precipitation, a product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that is deposited on the earth's surface. It forms when separate
drops of
water fall to the
Earth's surface from
clouds. Not all rain reaches the surface; some evaporates while falling through dry
air. When none of it reaches the ground, it is called
virga, a phenomenon often seen in hot, dry
desert regions.
