Definition: “Rain<\/b> is liquid water<\/a> in the form of droplets<\/a> that have condensed<\/a> from atmospheric<\/a> water vapor<\/a> and then precipitated<\/a>\u2014that is, become heavy enough to fall under gravity<\/a>. Rain is a major component of the water cycle<\/a> and is responsible for depositing most of the fresh water<\/a> on the Earth. It provides suitable conditions for many types of ecosystem<\/a>, as well as water for hydroelectric power plants<\/a> and crop irrigation<\/a>.<\/p>\n The major cause of rain production is moisture moving along three-dimensional zones of temperature and moisture contrasts known as weather fronts<\/a>. If enough moisture and upward motion is present, precipitation falls from convective<\/a> clouds (those with strong upward vertical motion) such as cumulonimbus<\/a> (thunder clouds) which can organize into narrow rainbands<\/a>. In mountainous areas, heavy precipitation is possible where upslope flow<\/a> is maximized within windward<\/a> sides of the terrain<\/a> at elevation which forces moist air to condense and fall out as rainfall along the sides of mountains. On the leeward side of mountains, desert climates can exist due to the dry air caused by downslope flow which causes heating and drying of the air mass<\/a>. The movement of the monsoon trough<\/a>, or intertropical convergence zone<\/a>, brings rainy seasons<\/a> to savannah<\/a> climes<\/a>.<\/p>\n The urban heat island<\/a> effect leads to increased rainfall, both in amounts and intensity, downwind of cities. Global warming<\/a> is also causing changes in the precipitation pattern globally, including wetter conditions across eastern North America<\/a> and drier conditions in the tropics.[citation needed<\/a><\/i>]<\/sup> Antarctica is the driest continent. The globally averaged annual precipitation over land is 715\u00a0mm (28.1\u00a0in), but over the whole Earth it is much higher at 990\u00a0mm (39\u00a0in).[1]<\/a><\/sup> Climate<\/a> classification systems such as the K\u00f6ppen climate classification<\/a> system use average annual rainfall to help differentiate between differing climate regimes. Rainfall is measured using rain gauges<\/a>. Rainfall amounts can be estimated by weather radar<\/a>.<\/p>\n Rain is also known or suspected on other planets, where it may be composed of methane<\/a>, neon<\/a>, sulfuric acid<\/a> or even iron<\/a> rather than water.” Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\n Jung Ji-Hoon (born June 25, 1982), better known by his stage name Rain<\/em>, is a South Korean singer, actor, songwriter, dancer, model, producer and designer.<\/p>\n no rain on the way<\/p>\n Rain, rain go away come again another day<\/p>\n 1932 movie<\/a><\/p>\n Who stopped the rain?<\/p>\n Rain<\/em> is a full-service digital agency, comprised of storytellers, designers, developers and bright minds from every corner of the creative space.<\/p>\n A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain.<\/a> Rain<\/em> (Registered Trademark) Handcrafted Vodka.<\/p>\n Rainbird<\/p>\n rain delay (baseball)<\/p>\n “Rain<\/em>” is a song by the English rock band the Beatles<\/em>, credited to Lennon\u2013 It’s raining men<\/p>\n Radio and Internet Newsletter<\/p>\n There is more to sex appeal than just measurements.
