Once the two of them are seated and have ordered hot chocolate, Yeti questions what rain is. 

“Let me do a quick Google search to see what I can find,” says Kimmy. “Here is a brief description of what it is.” 

‘Drip, drop, drip, drop. Sometimes we like to play in the rain. Sometimes we want it to go away! But how is rain made?  

Water vapour, small drops of water, is always present in the air. Hot air can hold lots of water vapour. When air is warm, it rises. As the air rises, it gets colder. Water starts to condense and become liquid. Clouds are lots of liquid water droplets collected together.  Sometimes mountains cause air to rise and the water droplets in the air to condense. If the clouds are big enough, drops of water bang together and become even bigger. When the drops get heavy enough, they fall to the ground as rain.’ (Source)
