Rain that does not hit the ground is called virga.
Rain that evaporates before it hits the ground is called virga. It appears as streaks or wisps of precipitation in the sky but dissipates before reaching the surface due to evaporation.
In some cases, rain can evaporate before it reaches the ground in deserts due to the dry and arid conditions. This process is known as virga. The rain droplets evaporate in the dry air before they have a chance to reach the ground.
When rain hits the ground, it can either infiltrate into the soil, flow over the ground as surface runoff, or evaporate back into the atmosphere. The fate of the rainwater depends on factors such as the soil type, slope of the ground, and the amount of rainfall.
This a riddle. It has been given as "My thunder comes before my lightning. My lightning comes before my rain. My rain dries everything it touches. What am I?"One suggestion is a volcano. It's roar comes before it spews out fiery magma, and possibly lightning occurs in the subsequent clouds above the volcano. Then it rains hot ash, which certainly dries everything it touches.
This can be either sleet or freezing rain, though both technically start as snow and melt into rain. Sleet is rain that is able to freeze back into ice pellets before reaching the ground. Freezing rain is rain that does not have enough time to freeze into ice before reaching the ground - the cold layer is very shallow to the ground, so it is rain that freezes on contact with cold surfaces.

snow/rain
A volcano.
pitter patter
When the rain falls from the top of the cloud, since Cumulonimbus clouds are big the rain freezes up and turns into a ball of ice before it hits the ground.

No Rain water is very soft. The harness of water is a result of the mineral content and rain water has a very low mineral content as it hits the ground or water on the ground.
It's when there's a hot day and the rain boils and converts to gas before it hits the ground....that's where humid days come from
Sleet is the type of precipitation that falls as liquid but then freezes instantly upon impact with the ground. This occurs when rain from a warmer layer of air falls through a colder layer near the ground, causing it to freeze before reaching the surface.
Yes as the trees intercept the rain before it hits the ground, without the trees soil erosion occurs and this can cause flooding.
