It's Raining What?

There are several sayings around the world describing a hard rain,in the US it rains cats and dogs,in Norway it rains trolls,in Wales it rains old ladies and sticks, but what does it rain on the other planets? According to scientists diamonds could be the most common precipitation in the solar system. Makes a person wonder what kind of umbrella could be employed for protection,of course that would be the least of your worries. It is fairly certain that both gas giants (Saturn and Jupiter) have abundant carbon in their atmospheres,enough to produce diamond rain. If that isn't a wild enough idea for you,long before it was decided that Saturn and Jupiter produced diamond rain it was a near certainty that the ice giants,Neptune and Uranus were raining diamonds...okay,I can't resist...how would you like to have diamonds falling out of Uranus?
