Heavy Rain On Skylights

The rain comes down against the skylight in heavy torrents. Huge raindrops burst open as the fall against the glass, and glide down the sides until they disappear into puddles on the rooftop. The assault of water against roof is relentless, but once the skies begin to clear only the memory of the storm will be left along the fresh breeze. Rain is liquid water in the form of droplets that have condensed from atmospheric water vapor and then precipitated—that is, become heavy enough to fall under gravity. Rain is a major component of the water cycle and is responsible for depositing most of the fresh water on the Earth. It provides suitable conditions for many types of ecosystems, as well as water for hydroelectric power plants and crop irrigation.
