Rain is advantageous because it brings water for all living things. But rain can be disastrous too, because too much rain will cause floods which can wash away people, houses and other valuable properties. The following is how rain is formed. The air is filled with tiny particles known as “vapor”. Vapor is actually the gaseous form of water. Vapor is a part of air. The air around us is constantly moving because the air near the surface of the earth is hotter and lighter. This way this air is rises. The air higher up in the sky is cold and heavy, so it sinks. The rising of the hot air and the sinking of cold water cause the air to move. When the hot air rises to a certain level, the vapor present on it, cools and change to water. This is known as “condensation” when the water particles are too heavy for the air to carry. The air is said to be “oversaturated”. The water particles then fall as rain.
