Solution

In cold drinks we dissolve CO2 at high pressure so it will remain in solution for long time and will not come out until the pressure will not release. Here CO2 is present in high concentration.
Whereas in rain water; CO2 dissolve up to a certain level and also form carbonic acid that causes acidic nature of rainy water but CO2 also remains in the gaseous state. So we can say that CO2 remains in both gaseous and soluble state in rain water but at high pressure, it will completely soluble.
