Hello aspirant,

Acid rain describes a form of precipitation that contains high levels of nitric and sulfuric acids. It can also occur in the form of snow, fog, and tiny bits of dry material that settle to Earth. Normal rain is slightly acidic, with a pH of 5.6, while acid rain has ph between 4.2-4.5.the effects of acid rain could be many like climate change,it has major polutants which are harmful to people on earth.these pollutants damage both the environment and health of people.it also causes some serious problems to aquatic life.few of them can tolerate but many aquatic life die which eventually causes a disturbance in food chain.it also spoils the soil of the forest which contains essential nutrients,hence no water to plants and trees so it causes problems to forests as well.hence it causes some serious problems .

Hope this helps,

Thankyou.
