Answer 1

It's probably pollen.  It may be dust.

Answer 2

It's tree pollen.  Pollen from pine trees is yellow and is very plentiful.

However if you don't buy this and are looking for something more to keep you scared, just consider it exhaust from space saucers.,

Answer 3

Normal rain is colourless, right? It's just the gods, bored silly probably.

Answer 4

This is a possible explanation:

"The scientific critics' view of Yellow Rain also received some support recently. In mid-June 2002, a yellow-green rain fell from the sky on the town of Sangrampur, near Calcutta, India. Rumors spread that the rain might be contaminated with toxins or chemical warfare agents. Shortly after the "attack," however, Deepak Chakraborty, chief pollution scientist for the Indian state of West Bengal, reported that the yellow-green droplets were in fact bee f***s containing pollen from local mangoes and coconuts. He concluded that the colored rain may have been caused by the migration of a giant swarm of Asian honeybees, which are known to produce "golden showers."

Answer 5

probably tree pollen

Answer 6

If it leaves paint on the car puckered it is acid rain but it could be bird or other kind of living liquid waist.  That as well could cause paint to eat away.  Acid rain doesn't have a true color unless it is really bad.  Sulfur rich would cause the whole place to smell of rotten eggs.  So I don't think that it is that.  Try taking a sample of it and having it analyzed at a local university.

Answer 7

It's urine from airplanes.

How do YOU know?

Answer 8

It sounds very much like sulphur, which, I am sure you know,  dissolves in water to form sulphuric acid - nasty stuff also called acid rain.  Do you live in an industial or inner city area?Motor vehicles have been blamed for causing this problem.  The acid can be strong enough to damage paintwork and even affect buildings over a period of time.

Answer 9

probably pollen. acids are mostly clear, even suphuric.
