What kinda vinegar do you use to make acid rain?

The acids in acid rain and vinegar are completely different! The acid in vinegar is ethanoic acid, CH3COOH. It is an organic, weak acid that when diluted in water wouldn't be strong enough to cause the damage that acid rain causes. On the other hand, acid rain contains heavily diluted sulphuric acid, H2SO4. This is one of the three strong acids- that can make metals like Magnesium, Mg, completely corrode. Therefore, this acid causes the damage, not ethanoic...

How does acid rain affect rocks metals and living organisms?

Acid rain is the result of sulfur compounds entering the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels. When it rains, these compounds enter raindrops and fall to the ground. These chemicals have a lower pH (possible Hydrogen) which is a measure of acidity and basicity. Any ecosystem near a coal fired power plant is susceptible to acid rain, however, the most obvious are forests and lakes.
