Rain typically falls from clouds at various heights, depending on the type of cloud and weather conditions. Generally, rain can originate from altitudes ranging from about 1,000 to 10,000 feet (300 to 3,000 meters) above ground level. In some cases, heavier precipitation may come from storm clouds that extend even higher. The specific height can vary widely based on geographic location and atmospheric conditions.
Rain will fall when the air temperature is above freezing.
how do droplets become heavy enogh so that the droplets fall as rain and snow
It depends on the size of the raindrop and the height at which it forms. The larger the raindrop, the faster it will fall. The rain falling to earth begins in clouds as fine droplets, which begin falling very slowly and then collect to form larger drops that fall faster. During the fall, the drops will break up and reform, so the falling speed can vary from 5-20 miles per hour. Rain could take anything from a few minutes to 20+ minutes depending on drop size, height and wind.
For rain to fall, water vapor in the atmosphere must condense into water droplets, typically by cooling as air rises. When these water droplets become large enough, they fall to the ground as raindrops. Other factors like the presence of clouds and atmospheric instability also play a role in the formation of rain.
Yes, rain typically falls from cumulonimbus clouds, which are large, towering clouds associated with thunderstorms and heavy precipitation. These clouds are capable of producing intense rainfall, hail, and lightning.
They mean that the rain is now starting to fall.

falling rain
Rain is heavy and falls and beats the waves down. Also, rain lessens wind because of its vertical fall to the planet surface thus inhibiting the winds power if only marginally) to increase the height of swell and seas.
Yes acid rain does fall in the rain forest since the clouds that would be acidic can travel with wind therefore acid rain can fall virtually anywhere on earth.
Acidic rain drops fall for the same reason that normal rain drops fall: They are too dense to remain suspended in the atmosphere.Related Information:Acid rain occurs when acidic chemicals mix with water vapor forming clouds, and then aqueous droplets that fall as rain.

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.
there is on average 750mm of rain fall in Aberdeen, Scotland per year
