Life is full of beauty. But we need to find it in everywhere. Even in a world with much sadness, at its essence, life is beautiful.
Rain, when we hear these words in summer, brings cheer and gives relaxation to the mind and heart. A little rain each day will fill the rivers to overflowing. Without the rain , there would be no rainbow.
Rain is a form of precipitation, other forms of which include snow, sleet, hail, and dew.
A little wind and a lot of rain makes our mind roused. Even a peacock dances, when it rains, so, how can people be left behind! Small children play in the muddy water, they also make paper boats and enjoy by making a fun game out of it. A rainbow in the sky, after the rain, adds to their thrill and excitement.
Rainy days might appear gloomy and depressing to many, but to those living in the tropics the rains are a welcome change. All of a sudden the earth is transformed from this dry, dusty, parched piece of land in to a gorgeous, green beauty that is full of life and vigor.
On a serious note, rain means everything to farmers. In an agricultural country like India rains can affect the economy.
Raindrops have sizes ranging from 0.1 to 9 mm (0.0039 to 0.3543 in) mean diameter, above which they tend to break up. Smaller drops are called cloud droplets, and their shape is spherical. As a raindrop increases in size, its shape becomes more oblate, with its largest cross-section facing the oncoming airflow. Large rain drops become increasingly flattened on the bottom, like hamburger buns; very large ones are shaped like parachutes. Contrary to popular belief, their shape does not resemble a teardrop. The biggest raindrops on Earth were recorded over Brazil and the Marshall Islands in 2004 — some of them were as large as 10 mm (0.39 in). The large size is explained by condensation on large smoke particles or by collisions between drops in small regions with particularly high content of liquid water.
Rain drops associated with melting hail tend to be larger than other rain drops.
Rain plays a major role in the hydrologic cycle in which moisture from the oceans evaporates, condenses into clouds, precipitates back to earth, and eventually returns to the ocean via streams and rivers to repeat the cycle again.
Mosquitoes start breeding on the surface of stagnant puddles, causing diseases like malaria and dengue etc. So, one has to take preventive measures, also, like not walking on wet grass and in muddy water.
Eventually, Rain is a grace; Rain is the sky descending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life.
