If enough rain falls, upper layers of the soil will not be able to absorb all the water. When this happens , the water continues downward until it reaches an impermeable material.

What is rain?

Rain is a type of precipitation, a product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapour that is deposited on the earth's surface. It forms when separate drops of water fall to the Earth's surface from clouds. Not all rain reaches the surface; some evaporates while falling through dry air. When none of it reaches the ground, it is called virga, a phenomenon often seen in hot, dry desert regions.


Why happens during condensation?

Hot air with water vapours hit a old surface causing water droplets to form. If the hot air reaches a cold atmosphere, it's called precipitation aka rain.


How do you know how drizzle is formed?

Drizzle occurs when it rains slightly. Few rain drop reaches earth surface.


What happens before the rain reaches the ground?

Before the rain reaches the ground, water droplets form within clouds through the process of condensation when warm air rises and cools. The droplets then grow in size until they become heavy enough to fall as rain.


What happens to the rainwater when it reaches the surface?

When the rainwater reaches the surface, it comes in contact with the atmospheric dust particle. This dust particle mixes with the rain water, making its character bit contaminated. In this way the rainwater looses its color also.
