yes, which is why you see if falling to the ground (below you) from the sky (above you)
If there is no wind, the rain will just fall straight down.
Downwards.
To fall. Usually in a downwards direction.
It would fall downwards.
They mean that the rain is now starting to fall.
its is around 90in. of rain fall
Raindrops fall with a constant speed due to the balance between gravity pulling them downwards and air resistance pushing back. This equilibrium results in a steady descent speed for raindrops as they fall towards the Earth.

Like anything else with mass, the snowflakes and raindrops that form in clouds are attracted by the force of gravity. The earth, being the largest mass in the vicinity, overpowers the gravitational attraction of all other masses. Snowflakes and raindrops fall downwards because this net downward gravitational force also overcomes the upward forces of the air between the clouds and the earth's surface. Note that the smaller water droplets and ice crystals that make up the clouds also have mass and are attracted by the earth's gravity. However they do not fall downwards because the upward force of the currents of air below balances the downward gravitational force.
falling rain
Yes acid rain does fall in the rain forest since the clouds that would be acidic can travel with wind therefore acid rain can fall virtually anywhere on earth.
They are the same, assuming the rain is falling directly downwards.
