What is an open ended tube that collects rainfall?
It is called a rain gauge
Why does one inch in an official rain gauge actually measure only one tenth of an inch of rain?
The inner container is tall and narrow, but 1 inch in the inner container is only 1/10 inch of rain. This makes it possible to obtain very accurate measurements--to 1/100 of an inch--of the amount of rainfall.
What is used to measure the amount of rain?
It is commonly just called a rain gauge, although it is also known as an ombrometer, a pluviometer, or an udometer.
Will a rain gauge and a 5 gallon bucket catch the same amount in the same rain storm?
In theory, a rain gauge and a 5-gallon bucket should catch the same amount of rain during the same storm if both are placed in the same location and exposed to the same environmental conditions. However, practical factors such as wind, evaporation, and the design of the rain gauge may cause slight variations in the amount collected. Rain gauges are specifically designed to minimize these effects, while a bucket may be more susceptible to splashing and overflow. Therefore, while they should capture comparable amounts, differences may arise in practice.
If 5mm rain is collected in a 100mm diameter rain gauge volume in gauge?
The volume is pi x diameter squared times height//4 The volume collected is 5mm x 100 mm x 100 mm x 3.14/4 = 39250 cu mm = 39.25 cu cm keep in mind that the rain measurement is still 5mm independent of volume collected.
Describe the dimensions of an official rain gauge?
The standard rain gauge is 8 inches in diameter and 24 inches tall. The outer container is called the overflow can, and inside there is a brass or clear plastic measuring tube 2-1/2 inches in diameter and 20 inches deep. On top is a copper or white plastic funnel 8 inches in diameter.
Where can one purchase a rain gauge?
One can purchase a rain gauge from websites such as Amazon. A dedicated agent from the official website will be more than happy to assist those in need of help.
How does a rain gauge?
a rain gauge works by first making sure it rained, and seeing how many inches the rain filled up the rain gauge.
How does a rain gauge work rain gauge?
A rain gauge measures the amount of precipitation by collecting rainwater in a cylindrical tube. The collected water level is then measured using markings on the gauge to determine the amount of rainfall.
What is rainfall measured in?

Does a rain gauge measure the amount of rain?
Yes, a rain gauge is a meteorological instrument that measures the amount of precipitation in a specific area over a set period of time. It collects rainfall and provides a numerical measurement of how much rain has fallen.
What does a thermometer and a rain gauge measures?
A thermometer measures temperature, while a rain gauge measures the amount of precipitation (rain) that has fallen.
