Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants.

The oxides of sulphur and nitrogen when comes in contact with water, forms acid and this rain falls as acid rain. When any non metallic oxide reacts with water it forms acid, that is why we called them acidic oxides.
