Sure! Here are seven interesting facts about rain:

Raindrops can fall at speeds of up to 22 miles per hour.

The largest raindrop ever recorded had a diameter of 1 inch and fell in Brazil in 1995.

The smell of rain has a name: petrichor. It is caused by the release of oils from soil and plants into the air when it rains.

In some parts of the world, it can rain fish or frogs due to a weather phenomenon known as a "rain of animals."

The world's rainiest place is Mawsynram, India, which receives an average of 467 inches of rain per year.

The sound of rain has been found to lower stress levels and promote relaxation in some people.

Rain can contain pollutants and acidic compounds, which can harm plants, animals, and even buildings and structures over time.
