where is the best place to place a rain gaugeexplain why?
Rain gauges should be placed on level ground in an open area where there are no buildings, trees, or other obstacles to block the rain. This is to prevent the water collected on the roofs of buildings or the leaves of trees from dripping into the rain gauge after a rain, resulting in inaccurate readings.
What is an open ended tube that collects rainfall?
It is called a rain gauge
How do you use a raingauge when measuring rainfall?
Place the rain gauge in an open area (far from trees or buildings or anything that could interfere with rain falling on it. At regular intervals read the gauge record the amount with the date and time and empty the rain gauge.
Where and how should rain gauge be placed to ensure accurate rainfall can be collected and measured?
A rain gauge needs to be positioned out of the shelter of houses and away from trees. Ideally, it should be placed on a post in the middle of a garden, where there are no trees or tall bushes nearby.

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.
Where is a rain gauge located?
Anywhere that it can have an unobstructed path for rain to fall into it, such as in an open field.
Where should not a rain gauge be place?
Inside. You should always place your rain gauge outdoor in a nice open space where there is nothing to hinder the rain falling directly into the gauge. Mount the gauge vertically and level, and check and empty it after every rain fall.
