Rain is liquid precipitation.
When water droplets in clouds become too heavy to stay aloft, they fall out of the cloud, towards the ground. As the most common form of precipitation, rain can vary dramatically in intensity. Many weather events involve rain. Hurricanes, thunderstorms, and delicate drizzle show the variety of storms and forms that rain can take. Meteorologists may not always get the intensity forecasts quite right, but pinpointing the location of rain showers has become routine for forecasters.
