How is solar rain formed?

The reasons for the formation of solar rain are as follows:

The first type

The reason is that the rain produced by dark clouds in the distance is instantly blown to another place by strong winds at high altitudes fall.

The second type

is caused by the collision of two clouds with different charges in the high altitude under the action of the solar wind, resulting in excessive water vapor content in the air in local areas. Water vapor evaporates faster due to solar radiation.

The third reason

The reason is that the weather suddenly changes and it starts to rain. The rain falling from high altitude has disappeared before it hits the ground, so although the weather looks sunny, it starts to rain. The rain is coming.

Characteristics of solar rain

The characteristics of solar rain are short in duration and small in quantity. The proverb says, "When the sun comes out and it rains, plant yellow rice seedlings and eat white rice." It refers to the sun rain. Sun rain during the rice-planting season is considered a good sign of a good harvest.

If the sun is at a low enough angle, solar rain will often cause a rainbow to appear. The phenomenon has very similar common names in cultures around the world, such as a fox taking a wife, a tiger taking a wife, or names associated with demons, although there are many variations on the subject.
