Why does rain have a smell? Stick your nose into it and find out!
Have you ever noticed how the smell in the air changes as it starts to rain? The refreshing scent that appears during rain has a scientific name: petrichor. It is a unique, earthy smell that many people find calming and nostalgic. This scent primarily comes from a natural compound called geosmin, which is produced by certain bacteria that grow in warm, damp soil. These bacteria release geosmin as part of their life cycle, and the compound builds up in the soil during dry periods.
