Rain is created in clouds when water vapor has evaporated from oceans, lakes, or wetlands. The clouds are filled with trillions of tiny specks of water vapor. These specks become attached to very small specks of dust, smoke, sand, pollen, salt, and other small bits in the air. A single rain droplet is formed by millions of these small water droplets hitting together. The proper name for rain is precipitation, which includes snow, sleet, and hail, as well as rain. Most rain starts out as snow that melts before it hits the ground. Snow is ice crystals that form in clouds where the temperature is below zero. Sleet is a mixture of rain and melted snow. Rain starts when water drops inside clouds grow too large for air to support them. Cloud drops grow when wet air is swept higher into the air. There, it cools and gets heavier, causing it to fall. Raindrops can also grow by colliding with each other in tropical clouds or by growing on ice crystals in cooler air. The world’s rainiest place is a mountain in Hawaii that receives rain 350 days a year. The wettest land area is located in an area of Colombia in South America. It gets an average of over 463 inches a year. The longest known period without rain was from October 1903 to January 1918 in Arica, Chile. Scientifically Speaking Download 10.24 Kb.
