If you are in the rain, will you get wetter if you walk or run in the rain.?

That is a great question. Myth busters addressed that question and originally answered that if you walk in the rain you will actually get less wet than if you run. This of course is different if you walk really slow or really fast. However, myth busters realized that their study was in fact inaccurate and flawed and now say that if you run you will get less wet than if you walk.

well simple dehydration means lack of water, you can become dehydrated in any weather if your not careful.

Don't cover your body if you will be runnimg. the plastic makes your body sweat, and you lose water from your body. This makes you look less bloated and makes you look good, but if you are running and you have that plastic on, you might lose too much body water and have a problem. not good.

No, you won't get wet but it'll be a darn nippy bath...brrrr cold and you'll risk suffocation from the carbon dioxide.

It depends buddy - if it is a rainy day things are not going to be exactly as scientific!

You can shower, go outside in the rain, etc. You can do anything you want unless you feel like you may lose a contact, like while swimming. As far as eye health, showering has no effect one way or the other.

Well, you would carry an umbrella to keep from catching cold if you got wet in a rainstorm. But if you walk around in a rainstorm with leaky shoes (with or without an umbrella), the water will seep into your shoes, wet your feet and you are just as likely to catch cold that way. So in a sense, carrying an umbrella when your shoes are leaking is a bit like closing the barn door after the horses have all escaped. Neither action will do you whatever good you thought they might have.

On the television show Mythbusters, this was tested empirically, first with artificial rain and then with real rain. \n\nWith artificial rain, it was shown that runners got wetter than walkers.\n\nWith real rain, it was shown that walks got wetter than runners. \n\nThe difference between the results was very small, so that other factors might very well have an influence, like:\n\n1. style of walking\n2. style of running\n3. statistical properties of the rain\n4. variability of the rain\n5. physical dimensions of the runner or walker\n\netc.

Don't listen to any of the other answers because as odd as it may seem the truth is \n\nIT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WETHER YOU WALK OR RUN in the rain\nbecause The empirical evidence presented notwithstanding, it seems implausible that the number of raindrops hitting a person per unit time remains constant whether running or walking. The answer posits that running will cause you to hit more raindrops on the front per second, with which I agree, but claims that you will be hit less often on the top, with which I disagree on the following grounds: \n\nAs a horizontal piece of cardboard moves forward, drops that would have hit it go behind it and thus miss. However one would expect an equal number of raindrops that would have fallen in front of the cardboard to now hit. \n\nTherefore taking front and top into account, running should cause you to intersect more drops per second than walking, but will take less time to cover a certain distance. How these 2 effects balance out remains to be seen. \n\nMathematical models which assume raindrops falling vertically in planes with randomly distributed drops within the plane show the two effects to balance out perfectly, but the real life application? Who knows

In the rain I think I got splashed on but it's not bad. In the snow I get to jump in, or go sledding and slide down the snow.

Unsaturated.  The air can still take on more humidity.  When the dew point is at or above the air temperature, you have fog or other percipitation.

Just a silly way to answer.\n\nIf it is Saturday, it is Saturday, but if it rains, then it is a rainy day.

YES!! Skin is porous, and does absorb water, especially if the body is parched. It does not, however, transmit the water to your digestive system. So, it has nothing to do with making you 'go', that is just your normal digestive system, sometimes it takes many hours (especially if you are dehydrated) for liquids to clear your system.

Yes!  Wicking works because the fibers draw water from places of high concentration (your sweaty skin) to low concentration (the air).  As the air evaporates water from the fabric, it pulls more water away from your skin. The fibers dont care which direction this may go, so inside out wont matter.

...I don't exactly know...Though my teachers have said in the past that if it rains, or any thunder/lightning, or if there is dangerous weather (looming) that we should go inside. If it sprinkles, my teacher still made our class run- through the mud, too! That's why we have uniforms for p.e., so that when we wear our normal clothes, it wouldn't be all muddy and dirty- Though if it starts pouring, our teacher would tell us to go into the gym. I mean if the school is the cause of one's sickness because they got a cold from the rain or something, that's bad for the school/ ..Anyway, I think the rules vary from each school. I mean it can't be like extreme temperature- if it was snowing, or was like burning fire( eh, not really, we still stay out during the hot times)...but like yea.

When walking through clouds when climbing a mountain, a person definitely becomes wet. I do wonder about "ice fog", which is a phenomenon one enounters in very cold areas where very tiny ice particles are suspended in the air. Walking through ice fog, one does not get wet. If there are clouds that are like ice fog, I think it is possible to touch them and not get wet.

Yes, it's common for raindrops to collide after they start to fall. The more wind there is the more collisions are likely.
