Does rain evaporate before it reaches the ground in the desert?
Not always, but sometimes.
How far does rain fall?
Rain may need to fall half a mile to 6 miles before it reaches the ground. It's possible for cumulonimbus clouds, which are associated with heavy downpours, to form about 6 miles above the ground.
What is the term for rain that dries before it hits the ground?
Rain that does not hit the ground is called virga.
What happens to rain after it hits the ground?
it goes to a river or streams then it soaks into the ground :) hope that helps!
Does snow come from clouds?
Yes it does as it is rain held in clouds before it reaches us.

What happens to the rain when it reaches the surface?
If enough rain falls, upper layers of the soil will not be able to absorb all the water. When this happens , the water continues downward until it reaches an impermeable material.
How long does it take before rain reaches the ground in the rainforest?
roughly 10 minutes because of how densely the trees are packed and the fact they are layered in canopies

Where else in the solar system can you find acid rain?
On Venus it rains sulfuric acid, although due to the heat it never reaches the ground but vaporises about 5 miles before the surface of the planet.

Yes it does as it is rain held in clouds before it reaches us.
What happens to rain that seeps into the ground high above the water table?
it evaporates
What happens to the temperature before it starts to rain?
Nothing.
Rain that freezes on the way down is?
This can be either sleet or freezing rain, though both technically start as snow and melt into rain. Sleet is rain that is able to freeze back into ice pellets before reaching the ground. Freezing rain is rain that does not have enough time to freeze into ice before reaching the ground - the cold layer is very shallow to the ground, so it is rain that freezes on contact with cold surfaces.
What happens to the ground when there is a thundercloud overhead?
The ground receives negative charges that shoot up into the clouds which causes rain to happen.
