For every minute of every day, 1 billion tons of rain falls on the Earth.

The umbrella was originally invented to protect people from the hot sun. 
The word umbrella comes from the Latin word umbra - which means shade.

Rain drops can fall at speeds of about 22 miles an hour. To take this into
perspective, a snowflake falls at about 2-4 mph can take about 1 hour to finally
reach the ground.

All precipitation starts as ice or snow crystals at cloud level.

Water generally falls to earth at a low speed, this is because raindrops have a special shape that increases the effects of atmospheric friction and helps the rain come down to earth at a lower velocity. Imagine if we didn’t have friction acting on the falling rain, or that the shape that rain forms was different. Each drop would come crashing down to earth at great speeds and cause a lot of damage.

Ombrophobia – fear of rain or being rained on

Deep Thought of the Day:  Why don’t sheep shrink when it rains?

April showers bring MOO flowers!
