Solution

Acid rain is rainfall that has been acidified. Rain is acidified by oxides of sulphur and nitrogen. Acid rain usually has a pH of less than 5.6. It is formed when pollutants called oxides of sulphur and nitrogen, present in factory smoke, and car exhaust, react with the moisture in the atmosphere.
