The Benefits of Rain

Separate drops of water falling on the ground from the sky is known as rain. The temperature heats up water on the ground and the water changes into vapor forming clouds. Droplets come together and form clouds. The drops or ice crystals, in the form of cloud, become so heavy that the air cannot hold them up and they fall to the ground as rain. The rain may fall in tiny droplets known as drizzle or may fall in hails, the frozen rain, depending on the nature of clouds and the temperature.

The rain may fell in different forms. Small droplets or light rain is called drizzle. Children like walking and playing while it is drizzling. Likewise shower is the rain falling for a short period. When it’s drizzling or showering in one place, the other nearing place may be sunny causing a rainbow. Similarly the sudden heavy rainfall is known as downpour or cloudburst, which may bring sudden flood and may take the lives of the people due to the flood in the stream or river. Sudden downpour with bigger drops is called cats and dogs rain.

Since rain provides fresh water making the rivers flow, filling lakes and keeping plants alive, it is very significant. We cannot imagine our life without water. On the other hand, no rain or too little rain or much rain may bring a very serious effect on earth influencing plant and animal life. No rain brings drought whereas much rain causes landslides and floods. Rain refreshes the land.
