Rain is droplets of water that fall from clouds. Heat from the Sun turns moisture from plants and
leaves, as well as oceans, lakes, and rivers, into water vapour, which disappears into the air.
This vapour rises until it hits cold air, then changes into tiny water droplets, which will form into
clouds. The water droplets in the clouds is constantly joining together to form bigger droplets.
When the water droplets get too large and heavy that they can't hold anymore, those droplets
fall to the atmosphere. And that Big, heavy droplets falling to the ground are called rain, while
small droplets are called drizzle.

At first its only a single drop that came out the cloud, this represents a drizzle. Then as I drop
more droplets to the cloud, more colored droplets fall down into the water or the atmosphere in
this case. Until a bunch of droplets fall down and that phenomenon is called rain like what i
previously said before. The darker the cloud or the shaving cream, the heavier it is from
containing all the droplets.

The shaving cream here represents the clouds, the water inside the jar represents the
atmosphere. And The colored droplets represents rain. As the colored droplets saturates the
“cloud” and making it much bluer than before , it gets heavy and eventually is so heavy that it
can no longer hold the water because it has reach it limits. It “rains” down into the jar – through
the “air.” It is just like real rain thaf falls through the air.

Are there any other objects that can be used as examples for rain explanation other than
shaving cream and food coloring?

Yes, definetly. For the droplets, im using food coloring but u can also use diluted water colour
paint with any colour. And for the cloud itself instead of using shaving cream, you could use a
bunch of cotton balls, thats is put untill the brim of the jar. procedure for the experiment is still
the same as seen on the video. You could also use a wet sponge for the cloud. You put the
sponge on top of a jar that has no water in it, and then drop some colouring on the sponge, the
results would still be counted as a rain experiment.

From your video, i see that the shaving cream stay floated on the water, why does that happen?

Well The shaving cream floats on top of the water because it’s made up of so much air that it is
less dense. It also happens to be hydrophobic, which means that it repels water. Because food
coloring is more dense than the shaving cream, the drops of food coloring easily fall through into
the water, like rain drops falling from clouds.
A bit of the same reason of why clouds float in the sky. the density of the same volume of cloud
material is less than the density of the same amount of dry air.
