Rain is not living because rain is made of water, and water is not a living organism. In order to be classified as a 'living thing' scientists came up with the following:

All living things must-

1) be made of cells

2) reproduce

3) have homeostasis (maintaining a constant inner environment)

4) have a metabolism (chemical process inside the body)

Since 'rain' does not qualify into any of these categories, it is considered non living.
