11 Facts About Rain

Apparently there are some unique facts about the rain that might not yet known. Here's the uniqueness of these:

  1. The average speed of rain water fall is just 8-10 km / hour.
  2. Water falls to earth with a low speed because raindrops have a special shape that increases the effects of atmospheric friction and help the rain come down to earth with the velocity is lower. Suppose a different form of raindrops, or assume the atmosphere does not have friction properties (imagine if rain occurs as a large bubble of water that fell from the sky), the earth will face the destruction of any rain
  3. minimum height of rain clouds is 1,200 meters. 
  4. effects caused by a drop of rain falling from a height is equal to 1 kg object falling from a height of 15 cm. 
  5. clouds rain can be found at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
  6. In a second, approximately 16 million tons of water evaporates from the earth.
  7. This amount is equal to the amount of water that fell to earth in one second. Within one year, is expected this number will reach 505x1012 tons. Water continues to spin in a balanced cycle based on the "dose".
  8. Pellets of rain change shape hundreds of times per second.
  9. If it was frozen water droplets rain will form a beautiful piece of crystal which, unlike ordinary water is frozen in the freezer
  10. After the rain falls, soils, weeds, grass scent will issue an ax, this compound is called 'petrichor'.
  11. And the fact the most mysterious and surprising scientists. Rain has the ability to hypnotize people to his memory the resonance of the past. And without being able to get the scientific evidence, scientists could only conclude "In the rain, there are songs that can only be heard by those who miss". And at this point, scientists believed that humans usually get inspiration ..
