Clouds produce rain because water that has been evaporated needs somewhere to go. Any h20 gets evaporated. And then condensed which means for water to become a water vapor or cloud. Once so much water gets evaporated and then condensed, it has no where where else to go but down. Gravity can't hold the droplets of water that form in clouds. droplets of water fall down onto the ground. These droplets of water are known as rain.

Clouds produce rain through a process called condensation. Water vapor in the air rises and cools as it reaches higher altitudes in the atmosphere. This cooling causes the water vapor to condense into liquid water droplets, which eventually become heavy enough to fall as rain.
The names of the groups of clouds that can produce rain are nimbostratus and cumulonimbus. The nimbostratus clouds are the ones we see that become very dark and produce a lot of rain or snow. The cumulonimbus clouds are responsible for lighter rain and thunderstorms.
Nimbostratus clouds and cumulonimbus clouds are the two main types of clouds that produce rain. Nimbostratus clouds are thick, dark clouds that cover the sky and bring steady, prolonged rain showers. Cumulonimbus clouds are large, towering clouds associated with thunderstorms, which can produce heavy rain showers, lightning, and thunder.
Cumulus clouds can develop into rain clouds, but they do not typically produce rain on their own. When cumulus clouds grow larger and combine with other clouds, they can form cumulonimbus clouds that produce precipitation.
Rain-giving clouds are typically referred to as cumulonimbus clouds. These clouds are large, vertically-developed clouds that can produce heavy rain showers, thunderstorms, and even hail.
Stratus clouds can produce light precipitation like drizzle or light rain. They are generally thick, low-lying clouds that can bring sustained precipitation over a large area. However, they tend to produce less intense rainfall compared to other types of clouds like cumulonimbus clouds.
