Best Answer

rain is made from many dirty water we dump away

2nd answer:

Rain is the most pure water there is, in nature. On the other hand, rain drops quite often form around dust specks. Sometimes, especially on windy days, you can smell the dust.

Otherwise, rain is often ionized, which gives it the smell of "rain", but in neither case does the rain 'stink'. Maybe you live in an area with air pollution, in which case, perhaps answer #1 is the better.

It smells after it rains because of a bacteria called actinomycetes. The actinomycetes are found in soil and when it rains the bacteria spores are released into the air.

No rain does not have a distinctive smell. Rain is just water which is odorless.
