Rain!!

Rain is water droplets that have condensed from atmospheric water vapour falling because of gravity. Rain provides water for many water bodies and it is an important part of the water cycle. It gives water for irrigation, hydroelectricity plants and trees. Rain is usually represented in the shape of a raindrop but in reality, they have a spherical shape high up in the atmosphere, but as they fall towards the ground, the raindrops start to flatten and curve, resembling the shape of a jellybean. An average raindrop falls from the sky at 14 miles per hour and can take upto two minutes to fall on the ground. The two clouds that produce the most rain are Nimbostratus clouds and cumulonimbus clouds. The nimbostratus clouds have a dark and grey color and they hang low in the sky while the culmolonimbus cloud are shaped like a mountain, with a dark grey color. A culmolonimbus cloud is a thunderstorm cloud and these clouds also produce hail and tornadoes.
