The reason most of the rain never touches the ground

Mostly, the rain never touches the ground because they fall into the sea. But a large amount of rain on land did not touch the ground.

Some seeds disappear before falling. While falling, raindrops move through the warmer air, causing more and more water molecules on the surface to evaporate.

Measuring this amount of water loss is quite difficult, we cannot bring the rain gauge to different heights to directly determine the amount of water evaporated.

Some seeds disappear before falling.

But according to computer simulations, about 40% of the rainfall will disappear and return to the sky . When the rain falls, most people 'land' on the forest.

The reason is that in places with heavy rainfall, many types of trees grow outperformably. They rise and spread, covering most other plants. Arabian trees also block large amounts of rain.

However, like humans, unable to drink water through the skin, plants cannot absorb water with leaves or shells. Therefore, the amount of blocked canopy water is not directly used for them. Most will be small or flowing along the trunk, eventually touching the soil and plants can suck them up with roots.

Part of the water on the tree tops evaporates from the leaves and shells, returning to the sky. This amount of water accounts for about 15% of the initial rainfall falling from the cloud.

This number may not sound great, but plus the amount of rain that has evaporated while falling, we will see more than half of the rain on land never reach the ground. They moved up in the form of steam, equivalent to the 15 invisible Amazon rivers flowing up into the sky.
