Splat or plop?!
The force of rain hitting the ground is typically not strong enough to cause damage or harm. Raindrops fall at terminal velocity, which is the maximum speed they can reach due to air resistance. The force is usually equivalent to that of a gentle breeze or a light tap.
That is called virga. Virga occurs when rain or snow falls from a cloud but evaporates due to dry air before reaching the ground.
The name for the release of condensed matter back to the ground in the form of sleet, snow, hail, or rain is precipitation.
Another name for frozen rain is sleet. It is a type of frozen precipitation that consists of raindrops that have frozen before reaching the ground.
No, it is measured like snow and then lumped into snow accumulation.
Rain hitting the ground
The sound of rain hitting a surface is commonly referred to as "pitter-patter."
Rain makes sound when the droplets hit different surfaces such as the ground, rooftops, or vegetation. The impact of the droplets creates vibrations that produce the sound we hear as rain. The intensity of the sound can vary depending on the size and speed of the raindrops, as well as the material they are hitting.
The water hitting the ground.
Snow, sleet or hail,
Rain hitting down hard on the ground makes rivers form.

Sleet is snow that melts in the sky and re-freezes before hitting the ground as ice pellets and Freezing rain is snow that melts into water and doesn't re-freeze before hitting the ground...but the ground temperature is below 32 degrees, so the rain will freeze on contact causing a glaze of ice.
The terms Pluviophobia and Ombrophobia mean both the fear of rain, and being rained on.
trees that survive in the rainforest whoses leaves spead out and hold as much rain from hitting the ground as possible hope that helps a little:)
