COMPLAINING ABOUT THE RAIN - On Earth we have rain made of water sometimes dirty polluted water - other planets have far more bizarre weather. Venus' rain bathes the planet in showers of sulfuric acid. On the largest moon of Saturn, called Titan, there are rain showers of methane, which is highly flammable and explosive. On Saturn and Neptune large hailstones of methane fall. On a planet that is 63 light years from our own solar system, it rains glass sideways at 4,500 miles per hour.

Complaining About The Rain

Rain: It's All About Perspective

by FlourishAnyway 

Rain can be nourishing, soothing, and its soft sounds make for terrific sleeping.

But for some people, rain represents sadness and is a metaphor for life's hardships.

If you're one of those rain complainers, perhaps you need a little bit of perspective.

Whereas on Earth we have rain made of water - okay, sometimes dirty polluted water - other planets have far more bizarre weather.

Venus' rain bathes the planet in showers of sulfuric acid, a highly corrosive mineral acid. (Who's complaining now?)

And on the largest moon of Saturn, called Titan, there are rain showers of methane, which is highly flammable and explosive.

Scientists believe that on Saturn and Neptune large hailstones of methane fall and are eventually converted into diamonds.

These diamond rainstorms may seem luxurious, but imagine getting pelted by large diamond raindrops. Ouch.

Still complaining about rain on Earth?

On HD 189733b, a planet that is 63 light years from our own solar system, it rains glass sideways at a mind bending speed of almost 4,500 miles per hour.

So next time it rains too much here on Earth, just remember it's all about perspective. You could have it way worse.

Now that you appreciate the rain more, why not create a custom playlist of songs on the topic?

Celebrate the symbolism of rain and all the emotions that it evokes, from sadness to triumph.

We've got a long list of pop, rock and country songs to choose from.
