Rain is an important part of the water cycle 🌊! It starts when water evaporates from oceans, lakes, and rivers, turns into clouds, and then falls back to Earth as rain!

Did you know that raindrops aren’t shaped like teardrops? 💧 They’re actually more like tiny balloons! The shape comes from the way air pushes on them as they fall.

The heaviest rainfall ever recorded in a single year was in Mawsynram, India, where they got over 467 inches of rain! That’s almost as tall as a 5-story building! 🏢

Rain helps cool down the Earth 🌍! During hot days, rain provides relief by lowering the temperature, making the air feel cooler and fresher.

Raindrops fall at speeds of about 20 miles per hour, but they don’t hurt when they land on you because they’re so small and light! ⚡

Rain doesn’t always fall evenly. Some places get lots of rain while others get very little. Deserts like the Sahara receive only about 3 inches of rain per year! 🌵

Ever heard of a rainbow? 🌈 When rain and sunlight mix, they create a rainbow! The sunlight is bent (or refracted) as it passes through the rain, creating the colors we see in the sky.

Rain isn’t just wet—it can be a soundtrack for relaxation! 🌙 The sound of rain falling is known to be calming and is often used in relaxation apps and sleep soundtracks to help people fall asleep.

Some places on Earth get rain more often than others! In places like Seattle, people can experience over 150 days of rain every year! ☔

When it rains, the ground gets cleaned too! 🌿 Rain helps wash away dirt, dust, and pollutants from the air, making the world feel fresh again.
