Raindrop is single droplet of rainwater is falling from the sky.

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.

Rain is also known or suspected on other planets, where it may be composed


of methane, neon, sulfuric acid, or even iron rather than water.

What is Dust ?

On Earth, dust forms when rocks are broken down into sand and smaller particles.

These particles, called mineral dust, can be blown by the wind and suspended in the
atmosphere.

Meteor is the appearance of lines meteoroids fall into Earth's atmosphere, commonly
referred to as a shooting star. There appears to be caused by the heat generated by
the ram pressure (not by friction, as the general perception before this) when the
meteoroid enters the atmosphere. Meteor is very bright, brighter than the planet
Venus appearance, can be called a bolide.
If a meteoroid does not burn out on his journey in the atmosphere and reach the
Earth's surface, the resulting object is called a meteorite. Meteor hit the Earth or
other objects can form impact crater.

A comet is an icy small solar system body that, when passing close to the sun, heats up and
begins to out gas, displaying a visible atmosphere or coma and sometimes also a tail.
There are two kinds of comets depending on their orbit. The two classes are short period comets
and long period ones. The orbits of the comets are eccentric, the more eccentric an orbit is, the
more elliptic it is. The short period comets lye closer to the plane of the planets and the period in
which they orbit the sun is about 200 years, in average. They only travel as far out as Jupiter. The
origin of the short period comets seems to be the Kuiper belt, which is a disk of small bodies
beyond Neptune. They were brugoth closer to the sun by the gravity of Jupiter, they are also
called KBOs (Kuiper Belt Objects)
