Best Answer

Rain water is essentially distilled, that is, it lacks the mineral content commonly found in ground water, surface water and sea water.

However. rain water may be affected by atmospheric pollutants such as sulphur and carbon, depending on atmospheric conditions.

Rain water naturally is slightly acidic at pH 5.2, so it may have a different pH level than other water.
