How does the rain gauge works?
Rain gauge measure quantity of rain in average height of rainfall per unit area. Basically, any container with the same area from the top to bottom would do. Rain gauge can simply be made by putting any cylinder in the open and measure the height of water collected after rain. Some advance rain gauge would have a wider mouth for rain collection and the level would be made in ratio and transform the reading to mm of rain fall over the collector. Advantage of having larger collector is the more accuracy.

Why does one inch in an offical rain gauge actually measure only one tenth of an inch of rain?
Because area of the opening of the collector is ten times the area of the measuring tube (it is a funnel). This provides for more accurate measurement of small amounts of rain.

How can rain be measured?
Displayed by a linear measurement like the US Customary Inches or the Metric System. Rainfall is collected by a collection container (rain gauge) that can vary in shapes from a straight sided cylinder to a funnel shape leading to a calibrated measuring device. If the rain gauge is a simple cylinder then simply measuring the amount of water in the cylinder with a ruler would tell you the amount of rainfall if there was no evaporation. Most often rain gauges are designed to be more accurate by collecting the rain in a funnel device that has a specified size larger than the collector. The collector has been calibrated with the measuring markers to match the desired unit of measure. Another form of rain measure is electronic by weight. The principle is the same, but since rain water generally has a constant weight a certain amount of water accumulates in the collector until it flips a weight sensor allowing it to spill past. At this time an increment in rainfall by the calibrated amount is added to the total and the electronic sensor springs back to collect more rainfall and repeat the process.
