Acid Rain

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to enjoy a delicious scoop of ice cream on a sunny day, but someone accidentally spills a bit of lemon juice on it, making it sour and less enjoyable. This situation is similar to acid rain, where pollution in the atmosphere mixes with rainwater, turning it acidic and harmful. Just as the lemon juice changes the taste of your ice cream, pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from factories and vehicles mix with water vapor in the air, creating acidic compounds that fall as rain, altering the natural balance and impacting the environment negatively.
