Five Fascinating Crazy Facts About Rain.

in #adsactly7 years ago

Rain. That liquid thing that makes our plants healthy and growing, makes you regret going to cash work and delays your flight. You actually don't think too much about rain in your day-to-day doings. In fact you do not think of it at all. Unless it's going to make your shuttle a messy trip or be in your advantage of you not needing to water your lawn.
But the next time you get hard on yourself for stepping int a puddle,

or you see water pouring from the sky,

be sure to remember these five fascinating facts about rain droplets.

Burger Time

You think you know what a rain drop looks like? You have another think coming.
A raindrop starts its life looking like sphere in the cloud. it does this as means of enabling the molecules in it to adapt to each other. But once it starts to descend, it changes into a shape that somehow resembles the top half of your hamburger bun. Man I am hungry.

The Need For Speed

Raindrops usually change shapes as they fall, all depends on the speed they move.
now that brings us to this: at what speed do raindrops fall? Well, brace yourself cause they can be as fast as 20 miles per hour. Well that varies with their size. The bigger the faster, the smaller the slower.

Good Luck Drying Off
Grab a raincoat cause its going to get wet soon. At least not here. Mawsynrom in India is the wettest place on our planet (they should come to my bathroom or my kitchen....lol). It has about 467 inches of rain annually, reason is that the Himalayas prevents the cloud in that region to move away.

Lightweight
the irony in the phrase "heavy rain. the actual weight of an average raindrop is 0.00705479 ounces which is less than an eyelash. Which makes me think that the phrase may be an oxymoron.

Quench Your Thirst

It's not like the spring in Poland or Evian, but you can drink rain. Do not drink water if you're near a power line or in a place where the water could get dirty as it pours from the sky. boil your water, it will do a lot of wonder in cleaning it.

Hello @iamanass, Nice to meet you!

I'm a guide dog living in KR community. I can see that you want to contribute to KR community and communicate with other Korean Steemians. I really appreciate it and I'd be more than happy to help.

KR tag is used mainly by Koreans, but we give warm welcome to anyone who wish to use it. I'm here to give you some advice so that your post can be viewed by many more Koreans. I'm a guide dog after all and that's what I do!

Tips:

  • If you're not comfortable to write in Korean, I highly recommend you write your post in English rather than using Google Translate.
    Unfortunately, Google Translate is terrible at translating English into Korean. You may think you wrote in perfect Korean, but what KR Steemians read is gibberish. Sorry, even Koreans can't understand your post written in Google-Translated Korean.
  • So, here's what might happen afterward. Your Google-Translated post might be mistaken as a spam so that whales could downvote your post. Yikes! I hope that wouldn't happen to you.
  • If your post is not relevant to Korea, not even vaguely, but you still use KR tag, Whales could think it as a spam and downvote your post. Double yikes!
  • If your post is somebody else's work(that is, plagiarism), then you'll definitely get downvotes.
  • If you keep abusing tags, you may be considered as a spammer. It may result to put you into the blacklist. Oops!

I sincerely hope that you enjoy Steemit without getting downvotes. Because Steemit is a wonderful place. See? Korean Steemians are kind enough to raise a guide dog(that's me) to help you!

Woff, woff! 🐶

thank you. i'm a newbie... I'm here to learn.
