Explanation Text

Rain is the falling of water drops from the atmosphere to the earth's surface as liquid, solid, or gas. The rain process begins with condensation as water vapor changes to water drops in the clouds. As clouds increase in the atmosphere, small water drops combine and grow larger until they become too heavy and fall to earth as rain. The amount of rainwater that falls to the earth's surface is called rainfall, which is measured using an ombrometer by collecting rainwater in a cylindrical glass and measuring its height after the rain stops.

Rain

Rain is the falling of water drops from atmosphere to earths surface in the form of liquid, solid or gas. The occurance process of rain is begun by condensation process namely the phenomenom of change of water vapor to be water drop. Those water drops fly in air and gather becomes larger and heavier form. Collection of water drops in air is called cloud. Cloud in atmosphere keeps increasing, smooth water drops change to be large water drops and finally fall to earth in the form of rain. The amount of rain water that falls to earths surface is called rainfall. The amount of rainfall is measured by using rainfall measuring device that is called ombrometer. How is method to measure rainfall?. When it is raining we put measuring glass that has cylindrical shape in open field, after rain is finished we will see the amount of water inside of it. The height of water in the vessel means the height of puddle of rain water in that region. If the rain water does not infiltrate,flow and evaporate, that is the record principleof rainfall.
