Acid rain is very harmful to the environment. Acid rain damages everything over a period of time because it makes the living things in the environment die. Acid rain affects the life in the water as well as the life on land. It is almost worse in water than on land because the fish that are in the water need the water to breathe. When the water gets polluted, then the fish get sick and end up dying.
All rainwater contains some level of acidity. Acidity is measured by pH, which stands for potential of hydrogen. The pH scale measures the amount of acid in a substance. PH is measured on a scale from 0-14, with 7 being neutral. The lower the number is on the pH scale, the more acidic that substance is. Normal rainwater has a pH of 5.6. When the pH level of rainwater goes below 5.6, it is considered acid rain.

The culprit that causes acid rain is sulffur
Also, sulfur and nitrogen oxide move up into the air and mix with the water/precipitation and causes acid rain. the pollution can be carried over long distances. This is for the Atmoshere.
Biosphere/LIFE- People breathe in the pollution from cars, factories,etc. and die
Hydrosphere/WATER- Acid rain kills the fish and other water-living creatures and spoils the water and poisens it.

The Rain become acid because it comes from a polluted sea so when it drop to the mother earth
The chemical of a polluted sea will be the same i.
