Rain water dissolves gases present in the atmosphere like CO2 , SO2 , NO2 to form acids such as carbonic acid , sulphuric acid , nitric acid . These acids are present in very less amount but since they dissociate easily into ions and thus rain water conducts electricity. On the other hand ,distilled water does not contain any such ions which can conduct electricity.
