Raindrops are not exclusive to Earth. They can, in theory, fall on any celestial body with an atmosphere and a cycle of condensation and precipitation. However, the composition of these raindrops varies greatly.
- Venus: It rains sulfuric acid, but the hot surface temperatures prevent it from reaching the ground. planetary.org
- Titan (Saturn's moon): It rains methane or ethane, due to its cold temperatures. science.nasa.gov
- Exoplanets: Theoretical studies suggest the possibility of rain made of silicates, iron, or even diamonds on certain exoplanets, depending on their atmospheric composition and temperature. space.com
Therefore, while water raindrops are unique to Earth within our solar system, the concept of "rain" exists elsewhere, albeit with different chemical compositions.
