The scientific name is called acid deposition, a British chemist, Robert Angus Smith, started the term acid rain in 1872 when he noticed rain being worn away by the rain.
Acid rain mostly effects the northern hemisphere and in America it causes roughly $10 billion in damages every year. It has even killed 50% of the Black Forest in Germany.

These acids can come from Volcanoes or man's exhaust or even dying plants.
The Wind can carry this acid hundrends of miles so when the clouds form and release rain it is tainted with these acids.
It affects the water can destroy wildlife and this causes an unbalance in the ecology of the planet.

since these gases react with water to give acid
carbon dioxide makes carbonic acid
while sulphur makes sulphuric acid
the amount of water decides the dilution and strenth of acid
acid rain cause lots of damage on
Agriculture and buildings specialy monuments
on humans it causes skin desease Since acid is too much dilute no human have died till the date according to my knowledge

It harms our skin and hair. It also harmful for trees and animals.
It also harmful for our building and building color. A great example of harm of acidity is Taj mahal. When it was build it looks white as milk but now its color becomes off-white day by day...Cause of acid rain.
Causes of acid rain are:
Liquids with a pH less than 7 are acidic, and those with a pH greater than 7 are bases. Clean or unpolluted rain has a slightly acidic pH of about 5.2, because carbon dioxide and water in the air react together to form carbonic acid, a weak acid (pH 5.6 in distilled water), but unpolluted rain also contains other chemicals.1
H2O (l) + CO2 (g) → H2CO3 (aq)
Carbonic acid then can ionize in water forming low concentrations of hydronium and carbonate ions:
2 H2O (l) + H2CO3 (aq) is in equilibrium with CO32− (aq) + 2 H3O+ (aq)
