If the space shuttle were a powered aircraft it would be able to land in the rain just fine. The problem with the rain isn't actually the rain, but the dense clouds that go with it. The space shuttle, while landing, is only a glider. It doesn't have the capability to 'go around' if there is a problem while it is approaching the landing site. NASA plays it safe and only lands the shuttle when the conditions are at their safest.
When the shuttle is taking off, it burns enormous amounts of hydrogen with an oxidiser. The sole product of this reaction is water. However, this water cannot stay in the air, as the air is then supersaturated (like stormclouds). So the excess falls to Earth, in the form of rain. other than that the government is evil
No, it does not rain in space because there is no atmosphere to support weather phenomena like rain. Space is a vacuum, so water cannot exist in liquid form to fall as rain.
No, it does not rain in outer space because there is no atmosphere to support weather patterns like rain. Rain requires water vapor, condensation, and gravity to fall to the ground, which are not present in the vacuum of space.
Weather conditions are continuously monitored leading up to a shuttle launch. If rain is present during launch time, it may be due to natural weather patterns in the area and not specifically because the shuttle is going up. Launches are often postponed if weather conditions are not favorable to ensure the safety of the crew and equipment.
cirrus clouds cant rain because they are to high the altitude in them is just to much. and the cloud is only ice crystal
Yes, on earth. There is no rain in space.

No because it should be a clear day, and the fear of lightning striking is always there.
No they cant because there hardly is any rain there. So the strawberry's cant get enough water to grow.
It is risky for any aircraft to land on a wet runway with redused visibility, but may be even riskier for the shuttle because it comes in at a much higher velocity and a steeper angle. Lol, it's just too dangerous.AnswerAlso, because the weather- resistant coating on the white thermal tiles burns off during launch and reentry, there is a danger that rain could enter the space under tiles and cause them to dislodge when subjected to extremes of temperatures on a later mission. This would leave parts of the orbiter unprotected from the heat of re-entry. This is true, but more importantly the impact of the rain at the high velocity of the shuttle would damage the fragile tiles and require a significant time and expense to replace them before the next mission.
Not in outer space; but it does rain on Earth and Earth is in space so in a sense it does.
Weather, mostly. There isn't any weather - no rain, clouds, dust - in space. The flip side of this is that if a solar panel breaks on Earth, we can drive over in a pickup truck with a new one, and install it with common tools. For the ISS, we need a dedicated space shuttle mission to go up to do this - and there will only be two more space shuttle missions!
No it cant.
It cant rain all the time :)
i cant personally say how they feel, but i know i would think unfair of the situation and defend my land, but that's how wars get started,,,

Rain in a Dry Land was created in 2007.
