Acid rain is any form of precipitation with acidic components, such as sulfuric acid or nitric acid that fall to the ground from the atmosphere in wet or dry forms. Both sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NO2) are converted to acids when they combine with water vapour in the atmosphere. These acids return into earth as either wet deposition (acid rain or snow) or dry deposition (sulphate and nitrate salts).
