Acid rain is man made and there is more types of acid.

Normal rainwater is actually slighty acidic with a pH of just over 6. This is due to the rain dissolving Carbon Dioxide as it falls through the sky.

When a volcano errupts it releases gases such as Sulpher Dioxide into the air which makes the rainwater more acidic with a pH of about 4.

Air pollution caused by man also contibutes to the acid rain.
