it would be pretty wet

>>12336957
It does but it moves around the world to do so

>>12336978
yeah but what if everywhere all the time?
what sorta infrastructure would be needed to deal with the erosion and flooding? practically, could the hydrosphere support it?
would it possible to make this happen on earth?

>>12336985
>but what if everywhere all the time?
I doubt that's possible, since if it were cloudy everywhere the sun wouldn't reach the water's surface and cause adequate evaporation.
The clouds would eventually rain themselves out.

>>12336985
>yeah but what if everywhere all the time?
Where would the water come from?

And those clouds did rain out.
The earth was also just cooling from its formation so was still hot.

The closest we've ever had global rain like this was during Noah's flood in the Bible.

In the scripture, it states that it rained for 40 days and nights, but for this amount of rain to cover the entire globe and raise the water level so that only the summit of Mt. Ararat peaked above it, would have to be an incredible amount of falling water indeed.

Mt. Ararat elevation: 5137 metres
Surface area of Earth's oceans: 608.83 giga-metres square
So to raise the sea level by 5137 metres would require
(608.83 * 10^9) * 5137 = 3127559710000000 litres of water

Even with a time period of 40 days or 3456000 seconds, that would be 904965193.865 litres of water per second of rainfall. With a calculation like this it is clear that the rains mentioned in the scripture were cataclysmic deluges of water and not everyday rain. Each square kilo-metre of Earth's surface would be receiving almost 1/10th of a litre of water per minute!

continued:
As you can see when you are considering the entire surface area of the world, even ordinary constant rain would require an immense amount of water in the clouds. The only way this could be possible was with a miracle from the Lord, I don't see any way this could happen normally.

Think about this: water with no energy at all is a solid. It requires energy input to become a liquid, and then more energy to become a gas. After the gas loses the energy, it becomes a liquid again.

Now, I ask you: what kind of situation would lead to this process to be constant, everywhere in the planet?The planet would need to get like 40 degrees hotter for that to happen, so the planet would be pretty much sterilized and slow cooked and only weird bacterias would exist.

This is /sci/, not /myth/.

i don't believe in christcuck shit either but I think his example was meant to show that a world where it always rained is retarded due to how much water would need to be evaporated over and over

Shoo shoo, Ray Bradbury

what if it rained UP instead of DOWN?

>>12336957
Only possible on a planet completely covered in water.

>>12337067
You can't have the surface receiving a volume of water without stating which area is receiving the volume. The only surface area you mention is as if the tenth of a liter is spread out across an entire square kilometer. Better would be to say that the rise in sea level would be 9 centimeters per minute averaged for the 40 days.

However, it also said the water was coming from the fountains of the deep opening up, so it's impossible to claim how much of any sea level rise would be due to rainfall instead of water gushing out from the ground.

However a bigger problem than the rainfall would be the horizontal flooding as rain accumulates at higher elevations then flows across land towards lower elevations, which washes out everything in between

>>12336957
Steam would have to evaporate same rate the rain falls to compensate, therefore it will evaporate raindrops as they would fall.

>>12336957
What if it had never rained before, and then suddenly it did? Can you imagine? It would either totally surreal or fucking terrifying, mass pandemonium

>>12336985
>would it possible to make this happen on earth?
Maybe with huge pumps that spray water from oceans up into the stratosphere.
>>12336985
>infrastructure would be needed to deal with the erosion and flooding
Everything that could be eroded or washed away would be, all land masses would be reduced to bare rock with massive lakes and rivers.

>>12336957
There was a Naruto arc about this. A city that always rained.

234 million years ago isn't "cooling from its formation"

>>12336957
It would be pretty comfy desu

Why did my desu turn into desu?

I don't know what happens in your girlfriend's panties when she sees me anon.

Hey newfren, perhaps lurk more before posting.

>>12341704
For how long must I lurk to be granted the privilege of posting on /sci/?

>>12336957
So.. the UK basically?

Go back to where you came from.
There's enough degenerate weebs on his site already.
