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...
