7 Sample How Does Rain Happen

We all know that rain is primary source of


fresh water for most areas of the world,
providing suitable condition for diverse
ecosystems. Rain is water that descends
from the sky through several processes
until the rain occurs. Do you know how
does rain happen?

The phenomenon of rain is actually a


water circle. The concept of water circle
includes the sun heating the Earth’s water
surface and causing the water surface to
evaporate. Earth’s water includes water
from lake, river, and ocean. Then, the
water vapor experiences condensation and
becomes condensed vapor. Condensed
vapor is formed from droplets so that
when the air temperature is higher, it
makes the droplets gather, condensed and
formed into clouds. The presence of winds
helps clouds move and gather in other
places that have lower temperatures. At
that time, the droplets become heavier and
unstoppable and cause the droplets to fall
so that there is rain.

If the droplets drop in an area with very


cold temperatures, the droplets will drop
as snow. However, not all rain reaches the
surface. Some evaporates while falling
through dry air. This is called Virga, a
phenomenon which is often seen in hot,
dry desert regions.
