When water vapour , it condenses in and forms . Their size and weight when they get colder so they become too heavy to remain in the air and fall to the Earth's surface . It is precipitation , which may be rain , snow or . FACTORS AFFECTING PRECIPITATION ? Latitude : precipitation is higher near the because the Sun's rays reach the Earth at a perpendicular angle , so there is more . ? Altitude : it rains more in areas because when the air rises and cools , it forms clouds and it rains . ? Distance from the sea : it rains more on the than inland because seas are a source of . TYPES OF RAINFALL ? : The Sun heats the ground and water evaporates . Water vapour rises and cools . Clouds form and it rains . ? : Humid air reaches a mountain , rises and cools . Clouds form and it rains . ? : A mass of hot humid air meets a mass of cold air , the hot air weighs less , so it rises and cools . Clouds form and it rains .
