What causes it to rain?

Question

What causes it to rain?

Answer 1

evaportion from the lakes and oceans into clouds and when it gets to heavy it comes down

Answer 2

Water vapor is lifted to the Lifting Condensation Level (LCL), where the air temperature becomes equivalent to the dew point temperature. The air becomes saturated and 100% relative humidity is achieved. Water droplets start to form and condense around condensation nuclei, such as dust. When the droplets become massive enough, gravity will cause them to fall

Answer 3

Rain plays a role in the hydrologic cycle in which moisture from the oceans evaporates, condenses into drops, precipitates (falls) from the sky, and eventually returns to the ocean via rivers and streams to repeat the cycle again. The water vapor from plant respiration also contributes to the moisture in the atmosphere.

A major scientific explanation of how rain forms and falls is called the Bergeron process. More recent research points to the influence of Cloud condensation nuclei released as the result of biological processes.

Answer 5

when water evavorates, cools and falls back down
