How Does Rain Happen?

Rain is the primary source of fresh water for most areas of the world. It is
also providing suitable conditions for diverse ecosystems. In addition,
rain water is also for for hydroelectric power as well as plants and crop
irrigation. Rain provides us life. However, how does rain happen?

The phenomenon of rain is actually a water circle. The concept of the
water cycle involves the sun heating the Earth’s surface water and
causing the surface water to evaporate. The water vapor then rises into
the Earth’s atmosphere. The water in the atmosphere cools and
condenses into liquid droplets. The droplets grow until they are heavy
and fall to the earth.

When the doprelts fall to the earth, it is called rain. The rain can be in the
form of water or snow. However, not all rain reaches the surface. Some
evaporates while falling through dry air. This is called virga, a
phenomenon which is often seen in hot, dry desert regions.

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is a food-making process that occurs in green plants. It is the chief
function of leaves. The word photosynthesis means putting together with light. Green
plants use energy from light to combine carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and
other chemical compounds.
How is the light used in photosynthesis? The light used in photosynthesis is absorbed
by a green pigment called chlorophyll. Each food-making cell in a plant leaf contains
chlorophyll in small bodies called chloroplasts. In chloroplast, light energy causes
water drawn from the soil to split into hydrogen and oxygen. What are the steps of
photosynthesis process? Let me tell you the process of photosynthesis, in a series of
complicated steps, the hydrogen combines with carbon dioxide from the air, forming a
simple sugar. Oxygen from the water molecules is given off in the process. From sugar
together with nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus from the soil-green plants can make
starch, fat, protein, vitamins, and other complex compounds essential for life.
Photosynthesis provides the chemical energy that is needed to produce these
compounds.
