Well, it is possible, but for oil to evaporate, it takes a longer time, because it's thicker than water. for oil to come down from the sky like rain, it's possible and it's happening all the time, just that more than 99% of the rain water is made up of water, oil only takes up 1% or less of the rain water due to the slow rate of evaporation. Can oil evaporate? you can find a very good example in your kitchen, on the shelves which is on top of the stove, or the ceiling which is on top of your stove, they will probably feel sticky and will smell of oil. why is that? because while cooking, the oil evaporated under the high temperature and condensed there, so my answer is: yes

Most of the pollutants in the ocean come from?
Most of the pollutants in the ocean come from land-based activities, such as industrial discharge, agricultural runoff, oil spills, and improper waste disposal. These pollutants can enter the ocean through rivers, stormwater runoff, or direct dumping.
Does rainwater have oil in?
Rain water that falls from the sky should not have oil in it, unless the sky is polluted. However, the rain water that lands in a barrel, or some other container, could have oil in it, because the ground is contaminated with oil, or the barrel (container) has oil in it. Most rain water that falls from the sky is clean, but, when it lands, it can get polluted with oil. Acid raid is another problem with rain water, which occurs again because the sky overhead is polluted.
The road is most slippery A. after a long rain. B. when it is new. C. during the first half hour of the rain.?
The road is most slippery during the first half hour of the rain (C) because the rain mixes with the oil and dirt on the road, making it more hazardous for driving. After a long rain (A), the water washes away some of the oil and dirt, reducing the slipperiness of the road. A new road (B) typically has better traction due to the roughness of the surface.
The danger of reduced traction is greatest?
The danger of reduced traction is greatest when it first starts raining. This is because there is oil on the road and the rain turns the oil spots into slippery areas. Wet road surfaces due to rain and snow can cause reduced traction as can sleet.
Does solar power contribute to acid rain?
No, solar power does not contribute to acid rain. Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from burning fossil fuels like coal and oil. Solar power generates electricity by converting sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells, which does not produce emissions that contribute to acid rain.
Can it rain oil?
No. Oil does not evaporate. Even when it's component parts do evaporate, it diffuses in the air and does not precipitate out in the form of rain.
Is it possible for oil to get into rain?
no its phisicly impossible. rain is when water from lakes rivers ponds the ocean etc. evaporate into the sky and become clouds. if oil is in water and the water evaporates oil will rain. wrong. oil cannot evaporate. only water. if your talking about the oil spill from bp hope this helps.! (oh and if you really hate the spill i suggest stop buying from bp your supporting them)
If crude oil can evaporate and 10 million gallons get dumped into the oceans a year would that mean it would eventually mix with the rain?
yes
Will the rain formed in the gulf be oily after the recent oil spill?
No. Oil does not make rain oily. Oil is a complex mixture of many hydrocarbon compounds. Some lighter compounds will evaporate and go into the atmosphere. The compounds will not reform in rain water to create an oily substance. They will be in very low concentrations in the atmosphere due to natural dispersion.
Which one oil and water does not evaporate quickly?
Water evaporate quickly.
Do olive oil and vinegar and evaporate?
Vinegar contains a lot of water, which will evaporate. Oils evaporate VERY slowly.
What advantage does oil have over a hydraulic fluid?
oil will not evaporate as quickly as hydraulic fluid even though hydraulic fluid does not evaporate easily therefore you will not have to change the oil as often
Does water with oil evaporate faster than syrup and water?
No, water with syrup evaporate faster.
Does turpentine evaporate?
Terpentine is a volatile oil. It evaporate by the passing air
How long does heating oil take to evaporate?
can take as long as 17 years
Does oil dry?
Oil does not dry in the same way that water-based substances do. Oil undergoes a process called oxidation, where it hardens over time due to exposure to oxygen, but it does not evaporate or evaporate in the way water does.
Which chemical is used so that water don't evaporate?
oil
