Acid rain probably started after the industrial revolution. In Man's quest to industrialize, we created so many industries without considering or bothering about the impact of the pollution we caused on the environment. Acid rain happens when there is significant amount of pollution in the air, these chemical compounds mix with rain clouds and therefore when it rains the polluted water causes "acid rain" or polluted rain.

How do you measure the acidity of acid rain?
You add universal indicator and then compare the colour it turns to an example ph scale. The redder the Ui the more acidic it will be, if it is green it will be neutral and if it is blue/purple it will be alkali.
