Here are a few interesting facts about the rain
1. Raindrops can fall at speeds of up 35km/h (around 22mph), but on average travel between 8-10 km/h, depending on wind speed, droplet size and the area it falls over.
2. The worlds heaviest average rainfall occurs in Cherrapunju, India where as much as 26.5 metres (87 feet) of rain falhttp://rainappreciationsociety.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/DSC_0150-199×300.jpgls in a year.
3. The wettest state in America is Louisiana, with an average annual rainfall of 56 inches.
4. Mt. Waialeale in Kauai, Hawaii, has up to 350 rainy days each year.
5. All precipitation starts as ice or snow crystals at cloud level.
6. Raindrops vary in size from 0.02 inches to about .031 inches diameter.
7. Water generally falls to earth at a low speed, this is because raindrops have a special shape that increases the effects of atmospheric friction and helps the rain come down to earth at a lower velocity. Imagine if we didn’t have friction acting on the falling rain, or that the shape that rain forms was different. Each drop would come crashing down to earth at great speeds and cause a lot of damage.
8. The minimum altitude of rain clouds is 1,200 meters and can be found up to 10,000 meters in the sky.
9. Each second, approximately 16 million tons of water evaporates from the surface of the Earth.
10. This 16 million tons of water is the same amount in raindrops that falls back to earth each second. Water moves continuously in a balanced cycle based on its volume.
