there are three main types of rainfall. 1. Convectional rainfall
2. Cyclonic/Frontal rainfall
3. Orographic/Relief rainfall
and i think that Convectional rainfall is most common in the world
saad999:
why
why: It is typical of warm moist air by heating from the ground surface. As a result of heating of the surface air, the air expands and forced to rise to great height.
As the air rises, it cools and becomes saturated and dew point temperature(the temperature at which water vapor in the air condense(gas-liquid)) is attained and then clouds will form. By further cooling, precipitation takes place. while the other 2 types of rainfall need to have cyclonic activity and mountain ranges( or any other higher platform) respectively.

Convectional rainfall occurs when the energy of the sun (or insolation) heats the earth's surface and causes water to evaporate changing to water vapor. This warm, moist air then rises and as it rises it cools.
