Rain is the primary source of fresh water for most areas of theworld, providing suitable conditions for diverse ecosystems, as well

as water for hydroelectric power plants and crop irrigation. 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 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 as precipitation which can be in the form of rain 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.
