Zoie got caught tin the rain today… but she doesn’t really mind. She is happy that it is liquid precipitation, as opposed to non-liquid kinds of precipitation such as snow, hail and sleet! So Hurrah for the rain – may it melt the snow and bring on the spring flowers. She has read that rain drops range in size from oblate, pancake-like shapes for larger drops, to small spheres for smaller drops.Who would have thought that?
Zoie did a little research and found out that ” Precipitation is a major component of the water cycle, and is responsible for depositing most of the fresh water on the planet.
The globally-averaged annual precipitation is 990 millimeters (39 in)…
Antarctica is the Earth’s driest continent…
Rain is also known or suspected on other worlds, composed of methane, iron, neon, and sulfuric acid rather than water.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain
I never knew- Thanks Zoie!
