Acid Rain

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to enjoy a refreshing glass of water, but someone accidentally adds a few drops of lemon juice, making it sour. This situation is similar to how rain becomes acidic when pollutants mix with water droplets in the atmosphere. Just as the lemon juice changes the taste of your water by introducing acidity, pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from industrial emissions mix with rainwater, lowering its pH and creating acid rain.
