Rain Cloud

A rain cloud refers to a large mass of condensed water vapor in the atmosphere that produces precipitation in the form of rain.

Meaning and Usage

In meteorology, a rain cloud is a type of cloud that contains enough moisture and condensation to create rain. Rain clouds are formed when warm air rises and cools, causing the water vapor to condense into liquid droplets. As these droplets collide and merge, they become heavy enough to fall as rainfall. Rain clouds are an essential element of the water cycle and play a crucial role in maintaining the Earth's climate and ecosystem.

Example sentences:

1. The dark rain clouds hovering above heralded the arrival of a heavy downpour.
2. She gazed at the rain cloud in awe as it transformed the barren earth into a lush green paradise.
3. Carrying an umbrella is advisable when rain clouds loom on the horizon.
