well I'm only eleven but i know the answer, yes it does but if you want to know how its makes acid rain it got something to do with the atmosphere and carbon dioxide

Re:

What the heck? Obviously methane has to do with the atmosphere and carbon dioxide, OH radicals in the atmosphere break methane into carbon dioxide and water. But no, methane does NOT cause acid rain! Acid rain is caused by sulphur and nitrogen oxides in clouds. Methane is simply a green-house-gas, it can't cause acid rain because it has a pKa of ~56 (weak acid), which is why a strong base such as OH- is required to break it.

How nitric acid react with methane?

Nitric acid does not react directly with methane under normal conditions. However, in the presence of a catalyst or under high-temperature conditions, methane can be oxidized by nitric acid to form carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and water. This reaction is not commonly used due to its complexity and the availability of more efficient methods for methane oxidation.

CH4 acid or base?

Arrhenius acids are ones that give up protons when dissolved in water. Methane is a non-polar molecule which means it is insoluble in water and, therefore, is not an Arrhenius acid. It cannot be described as a Lewis acid or base either because it doesn't donate protons or an electron pair nor does it receive them.
