“It rains since 9 o'clock.”
“Since” is used in present perfect/present perfect continuous, or past perfect/past perfect continuous to express the starting point. There is another word used in similar tense(s): “for”, but it is to express duration.
Now we go back to the sentence in this question. That sentence is incorrect because it uses simple present, meanwhile “since” can only be used in the tenses mentioned above.
Finally we can conclude that the correct sentence is:
If we want to tell that it rained at some point between 9 o'clock and the time we are talking, and there is chance that it will rain on that day, we use present perfect:
“It has rained since 9 o'clock.”
If we want to tell that it rained in the past at some point at 9, and it still continues in the present, we use present perfect continuous:
“It has been raining since 9 o'clock.”
If we want to tell it rained in the past at some time between 9 o'clock and the time we are talking, and there was chance that it would rain on that day, we use past perfect:
“It had rained since 9 o'clock.”
If we want to tell that it started raining in the past and still continued in the past, we use past perfect continuous:
“It had been raining since 9 o'clock.”
