Acid rain is more acidic than normal rain. This is immediately obvious from the term.
Acid rain is neither gaseous or radioactive. It simply has a lower pH.

∙ 9y agoAcid rain is made from chemicals in the air mixing with water in the air. This makes the rain more acidic then normal rain.

∙ 8y agoYes. Normal rain is mildly acidic. Acid rain is unusually acidic. Rain with a pH of 5.7 or less is considered acid rain.

How does soil become acidic?
fertilisers and acid rain
How can we deal with the chemistry of acid rain?
Acidic oxides causes acid rain. SO2, NO2 are gases for examples.
Can smoke from factories cause acid rain?
Smoke from factories and vehicle pollution is the main cause of acid rain. The pollutants merges with rain and the rain becomes acidic.
Which substance in acid rain makes it more acidic than natural rainwater?
Sulfuric acid
Does acid rain have a low pH?
The base pH of acid rain is low, yes. Usually around 2.5 to 5.5 are the most acidic.
What is the difference between normal rain and acid rain since normal rain is acidic anyway?
Normal rain is slightly acidic but it occurs naturally, as oppose to acid rain caused by air pollution
Is acid rain more gaseous radioactive or more acidic than normal rain?
Acid rain is made from chemicals in the air mixing with water in the air. This makes the rain more acidic then normal rain.
Is acid rain far more acidic than normal rain?
yes it is
Does acid rain fall every time it rains?
No. While all rain is slightly acidic,it is only considered acid rain if it is far more acidic than normal.
Is acid rain radioactive acidic or gaseous?
Acid rain is acidic.
How is normal rain changed to acid rain?
When there are too much toxins in the air, rain becomes somewhat acidic.
A short definition of acid rain?
The acid rain is rain that has made acidic by certain pollutants in the air. Acid rain is a type of acid deposition, which can appear in many forms. Wet deposition is rain, sleet, snow, or fog that has become more acidic than normal. Dry deposition is another form of acid deposition, and this is when gases and dust particles become acidic. Both wet and dry deposition can be carried by the wind, sometimes for very long distances. Acid deposition in wet and dry forms falls on buildings, cars, and trees and can make lakes acidic. Acid deposition in dry form can be inhaled by people and can cause health problems in some people. The normal rain is a bit acidic, but some contaminates have made it more acidic, sometimes as acid as the vinegar.
What is the pH scale of normal acid rain?
Normal clean rain has a pH value of between 5 and 5.5, which is slightly acidic
Is normal rainwater an acid or a base?
Normal rain water is slightly acidic because contain carbon dioxide.
What is the definition of acid precipitation?
Acid rain is defined as precipitation that is acidic. This is due to the condensation of sulfur dioxide and other volatile gases released by industrial and other human activities with clouds. When they come down they are observed as precipitations of acidic nature.
Is rainwater acid or alkali or neutral?
It all depends on what is in it. You have heard about acid rain but normal rain has a pH of around 5. It would be slightly acidic according to your question.
What pH is acidrain?
Acid Rain generally has a pH of less than 5, where normal rain is about 5.6. The lower the pH value, the more acidic is the rain.
