Rain falls from stratus clouds - the layered cloud type that blankets the sky over a large area - whereas showers fall from cumulus clouds - the towering convection cells that are more limited in extent. Hence showers are often described as scattered. Light and heavy refer to the intensity of rain - the amount that falls in an hour or day, or its ability to wet a surface. Light rain will wet a surface but won't create puddles - just a few millimetres in depth - whereas heavy rainfall will have measurable depth and create puddles. Other words describe the duration or frequency of rainfall over time - steady, short or intermittent.
