Heyya!
Distilled water ;
Distilled water is water that has virtually all of its impurities removed through distillation. Distillation involves boiling the water and re-condensing the steam into a clean container, leaving most if not all solid contaminants behind. The conduction of electricity takes place through charges i. e. ions, as no ions are present in the distilled water it does not conduct electricity.
Rain Water ;
the rain water contains dissolved gases lik carbon di-oxide, sulphur dioxide etc, which generate acids like carbonic acid or sulphuric acid in presence of water. These acids get ionised and facilitate conduction of current . Hence, rain water conduct electricity
Hope it helps !!! : )

Helloo..
Question = why does distilled water not conduct electricity but rain water does?
Answer = Distilled water cannot conduct electricity because it doesn't contains ions while rain water conduct electricity as it contains ions due to presence of dissolved salts in it.
What is distilled water ??
>> Distilled water is created through the process of distillation. Basically, in the process of distillation, the pure H2O is boiled out of its contaminants.
What is rain water ??
>> Rain is liquid water in the form of droplets that have condensed from atmospheric water vapor and then becomes heavy enough to fall under gravity.
