Evaporating rain usually occurs in very dry and/or hot areas such as deserts. The rain can be seen falling, but evaporates well before it ever touches the ground. This very common phenomenom is called "VIRGA".

Where does most rainfall on earth finally end up before becoming rain again?

Most rainfall on Earth ends up flowing into rivers, lakes, and oceans before evaporating back into the atmosphere to become rain again in a continuous cycle known as the water cycle.


How is the sun responsible for rain on earth?

The sun plays a crucial role in the water cycle by evaporating water from the Earth's surface, including oceans and lakes. This water vapor rises into the atmosphere, cools, condenses into clouds, and eventually falls back to the Earth as rain due to gravity. Therefore, the sun's heat is what drives the process of evaporation, which leads to rain on Earth.

10 examples of evaporation?

Drying clothes on a clothesline. Boiling water in a pot. Evaporation of sweat from the skin. Puddles evaporating after rainfall. Salt water evaporating to form salt crystals. Evaporation of water in a puddle under the sun. Evaporation of water from wet ground after a rain. Evaporation of liquid nitrogen. Evaporation of perfume from the skin. Evaporation of alcohol in hand sanitizer.


Why doesn't rain sink to the bottom of the earth?

Rain does not sink to the bottom of the Earth because of gravity. Gravity pulls raindrops towards the center of the Earth, causing them to fall downwards. Additionally, the Earth's surface is solid and impermeable, preventing rainwater from seeping through to the Earth's core. The water cycle also plays a role, with rain eventually evaporating back into the atmosphere to form clouds and fall again as precipitation.

How does the rain get into the clouds Where does it come from in the 1st place?

Clouds are created by the effects of the heat of the sun evaporating water. It is called the rain cycle. Certain conditions cause the clouds to produce precipitation, which is either rain, or in colder climates, snow.

How did you get rain?

When water evaporates from the lakes and oceans it goes in the air and eventually forms clouds. When the clouds are full of water it rains and the cycle starts all over again from evaporating. Rain happens mostly in spring and summer do to the extreme heat.

Is temperature important in water cycle?

yes because temperature is factor that starts the water cycle by evaporating the water so it can become a rain cloud and do the rest of the water cycle


How evaporation causes cooling 6 examples?

In a given liquid, the atoms or molecules which are moving the fastest, and hence have the highest temperature, are the ones that are most likely to leave the liquid and evaporate. The atoms or molecules that they leave behind will therefore be cooler. Examples: evaporating water evaporating alcohol evaporating liquid nitrogen evaporating glycerol evaporating liquid helium evaporating acetone.
