It takes at least 10 minutes to reach the forest floor in a rain forest because the canopy is like a giant umbrella.
Some rainforests, such as the Amazon, grow on very poor soil. This, coupled with the low-light conditions under the forest canopy, means that the trees grow very slowly. A recent study found that about half the trees with a trunk diameter greater than 10 centimetres (4 inches) were over 300 years old and still growing.
This also means, of course, that rainforests do not recover quickly from logging!
lets say this it an average rainstorm, base of the cloud is at 5000ft about a mile, average raindrop fall at 17mph it take it about 1/17 of a hour or a little over 3min for the raindrop to hit the ground
It takes about a trillion to grow a forest so I'd say about 100
it will take about 20 minutes before it becomes sunny
50-100 yrs

Rain does not usually fall on the ground in a rainforest because the ground is covered with plants and fungus unless the ground is bare because of slash-and-burn cultivation. In that case, the rain falls on the ground and washes minerals downstream.
Sumatran rhinos strictly live on the ground. They cannot climb trees. The ground level of a rainforest is called the understory.
the reason it rains in the afternoon in the rainforest is because during the night there is no sun to heat the air or the ground which means there is no energy to start the convection rainfall cycle but towards the afternoon the air and ground warms so the process can begin
They have adapted to life in the rain forest by having their roots in the ground and climbing high into the tree canopy to reach the available sunlight.
yes because has to put the mosture back into the rainforest plants and animals.

Yes, infact it is a rainforest because its ground is moist and it gets alot of rain
When a rain drop hits the ground it is exerting between 6 and 8 p.s.i.
roughly 10 minutes because of how densely the trees are packed and the fact they are layered in canopies

They live on the floor of the rain forests and eat nuts and fruits that fall to the ground

yes it rains a lot on the rainforest

They can be found in all parts of the rainforest. They climb very well, and also hunt on the ground.
the reason why is because of the shape and weight if the rain drop. the weight of a rain drop is less than a gram and the shape of one when falling from the sky, has a lot of drag. this means that the terminal velocity of a rain drop is very slow
Yes. It rains quite a bit in a tropical rainforest. That is why it is called a rainforest.
