Question 7 of 43beginner💡 UnderstandShort Answer2 marks

Is the rain falling straight down? Is it slanting or changing its direction? Guess why.

Correct Answer

Rain usually falls straight down when there is no wind.

When the wind blows, rain slants or changes its direction because the wind pushes the falling raindrops sideways.
