Wheeling, WV... During the height of steel production a acid rain pH of less than 2 was recorded. I'm not sure of the year, can anyone else find it?
The highest ever recording was 4.9 i think in EuropeAnswer:Normal rain has a pH of 5.5 to 4.5. Acid rain has pH of anything less than 4.5 and reaches its strongest (lowest pH) value at about a pH of 2.The highest pH for acid rain (the weakest acid rain) would be at the lower value of normal rain water.
Some parts of the world see no rain at all for several years.
The record for the most rain in one hour ever recorded is 12 inches, which occurred in Holt, Missouri on June 22, 1947.
Acid rain occurs in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere. It is formed when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides emitted from burning fossil fuels mix with water vapor in the atmosphere, leading to the formation of sulfuric acid and nitric acid that falls back to the Earth's surface as acid rain.
Pollution in the air, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, mixes with water vapor to form acid rain. When these pollutants in the atmosphere react with rainwater, they create acidic compounds like sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then fall to the ground as acid rain.

yes there is acid rain in the ukraine. acid rain is very bad. i am very plaesed with my question over and out. .. .
The first recorded acid rain "storm" was in 1944 when readings of pH 2.4(as acidic as vinegar) were recorded during storms in New England.
Regarding length, the biggest rain drop ever recorded, which was founded at the U of I in Urbana Champaign in the mid 1900's, was 8 millimeters.

Acid rain having bad effects.The problems acid rain is rapidly spreading because it is mainly caused by industrial processes,auto mobiles,and power plants.Those countries that are developed have the most severe acid rain problems how ever as the undeveloped nations begin to industrialize,acid rain increase greatly.Many ecosystems are effected by acid rain bodies of water such as lakes and rivers.
rain with acid
Yes, Acid rain is rain with higher than normal levels of nitric and sulfuric acid.
Only acid rain, normal rain does not contain acid.
