Acid Rain

Last Updated: 01.12.2025

Acid rain appears like normal rain but contains harmful gases. These gases mix into the air from car exhausts, factory chimneys, and even volcanoes.



☁️ How Does It Form?

Sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the air combine with water droplets in clouds. This combination forms acidic rain droplets, which fall to the ground as rain, snow, or fog.


🌱 Harm to Nature and Humans

Acid rain weakens the leaves and roots of trees in forests. It is also dangerous for fish living in lakes and rivers. Additionally, it damages historical monuments and buildings by eroding their stone and metal components.


🌍 How Can We Prevent It?

- Install filters on factory chimneys

- Use cars less or ride bicycles

- Choose clean energy sources such as solar and wind


We can protect the planet through small changes! 🌳💧

INSPIRATION NOTE FOR CURIOUS KIDS!

In some regions of the world, acid rain makes the water in lakes so acidic that fish cannot survive.

But remember! By reducing our waste, using energy carefully, and loving nature, we can also reduce the harmful effects of acid rain.

You too can contribute to the entire planet by protecting your environment! 🌎💚✨

Acid rain forms when harmful gases in the atmosphere combine with rainwater. These rains damage trees, lakes, fish, and historical artifacts.

We can reduce acid rain by factories using filters, shifting to clean energy sources, and all of us protecting nature. Protecting our planet is in our hands! 🌍☔🌱
