Detailed Solution

Acid rain mainly happens because of the burning of fossil fuels.
The emission of carbon, sulphur and nitrogen from industries, and the burning of fossil fuels, etc., are the reasons for acid rain and also natural phenomena such as emissions from volcanoes make the water vapour in the cloud more acidic, thereby causing acid rain. When sulfur is mixed with water, it makes sulphuric acid, which is the main constituent of acid rain.
