The Formation of Rain

          For a long time it has been assumed that rain is formed by the Sun evaporating the ocean water which forms the clouds and thereby causing rain. For theory this concept seems to be acceptable, but when considering the various factors of the existing nature, it is clearly can be concluded that the rain is not formed by the direct heating of the seas and oceans by the sun but rather by a different means. This article will discuss about the factors which prove that previous concept as wrong and on what grounds, also will say about a new concept which is quiet convincing than the previous concept.

Sun’s Heat:

          The primary SEW concept rain is that the sun rays have so much heat, so that they can evaporate the ocean water. But in practical that’s not the case. The rays of sun enter through the atmosphere where it is quiet chill, hence the possibilities of the heat loss is very high, even if the sun rays have so much heat that can evaporate water, it is clear that no life could possibly exist at that heat. And if the sun rays are so much heat then there would be practically no atmosphere.

Icy Mountains

          The sun rays entering will first hit the Mountains, but it is seen that the tallest mountains are those with lot of Ice. How is it possible if the ocean melting heat rays of the sun does not melt the ice on the mountain top where they meet first?

Ocean Size

          Earth approximately made up of 70% water and 30% land. Even if .5% of water is evaporated by the sun there is very little possibility that land exist for almost for these many years.

Then How Rain is formed??

          Rain is actually formed by the Green House Gas effect, the effect in which the heat Is not actually sent out but reflected/radiated within a confined space such that more and more heat is added and the area becomes warm.

          Assume earth is a Green House where atmosphere is the shield preventing the Heat to escape or escape only in very little quantity. The heat from the sun is reflected by the landscape, the reflected heat is absorbed by the CO2 gas present in the atmosphere, since the CO2 is heavier than the other gases it is likely to be near to the ground and absorb the heat much more than any other gas, also this is the reason why the land is warmer than the icy cold mountains, CO2 is heavier and so is very close to land and very less CO2 is present in the mountains which practically reduces the temperature at the mountains.

          The heat absorbed by the CO2 gas is moved to the cooler regions, an argument might be raised here that the heat absorbed CO2 becomes light weight and moves up, yes it is possible but another factor to be considered here is that, heat moves from hot region to cooler region, instead of wasting energy in moving upwards it spends energy in moving to the cooler region in the same altitude, (i.e) to any nearby water bodies like river, lake etc, from there the hot CO2 loses its heat in evaporating the water and again enters into the land, the hot water vapor which is surrounded by very hot CO2 has no other option than to move upwards. The water vapor while moving up experiences very less surrounding temperature compared to ground, hence it condenses and becomes water vapor. This water vapor becomes clouds and when sufficient amount of water vapor is collected in clouds, it forms rain.

1.     The conclusion here is that Sun rays does not directly heat the ocean.

2.      Also the amount of rainfall caused is directly proportional to the amount of land existing near water bodies.

3.      Rain is not formed only by the evaporation of seas and oceans but also because of vaporization of the rivers and ponds. 

4.     CO2 is the primary cause of heat transfer in the formation of rain, it is not miscible with water .

5.     Nature is designed to maintain balance by the intake of CO2 by plants and release of O2, and the vice versa by the animals.

6.     The balance is altered by the Human activities not only by increasing CO2 in atmosphere by factories but also by cutting of the consumers of CO2, in addition CO is released by human activities in larger quantities which is a lover of water and forms Carbonic Acid when reacts with water vapor to form the cancer causing acid rain.

The amount of heat entering into earth from the sun is very low. It is altered in same way as LASER is created.
