A desert is a dry area with very little rainfall, typically receiving less than 250 millimeters of rain per year. These regions often have extreme temperature variations and sparse vegetation due to the lack of moisture. Sand dunes, rocky terrain, and dry salt flats are common features in deserts.

What is an area on the dry sheltered side of a mountain that receives very little rain called?
That area is called a rain shadow. It occurs when moist air rises over a mountain, releases moisture on the windward side, and descends down the other side, resulting in a drier climate on the leeward side.
What is the very fine rain called?
The very fine rain is called mist or drizzle. It consists of very small water droplets that fall slowly and lightly from the sky.
What biome has extreme temperatures during the day and night very little rain fall?
The desert biome has extreme temperature fluctuations between day and night and receives very little rainfall. These harsh conditions make deserts one of the most challenging environments for life to thrive.
Does rain fall vertically?
Not always. Rain often falls diagonally due to the wind. In very strong wind rain can be nearly horizontal.
Why can rain fall in the desert?

What are rain shadows used for?
As a simple example: a tall mountain near the sea. The prevailing wind off the sea carries a lot of rain water. On reaching the mountain, and in order to rise over the mountain, the clouds tend to rise meeting colder air at the higher altitudes. This means that it will rain, as cold air can't contain much water vapour. So the rain mainly falls on the side of the mountain facing the sea. Once over the mountain, there is very little rain left. So, on the side of the mountain away from the sea, a rain shadow is formed and very little rain will fall in the area of the shadow.
Why more rain in a low pressure area?
The low pressure causes are to rise intot he colder air above. Since cold air does not hold mositure very well, it condenses out and causes rain to fall. the lower the pressure, the more the rain
