Acid Rain

[fernandolescovar]

Apparently the reaction between carbon dioxide (gas) and liquid water is exothermic and can occur spontaneously in nature at atmospheric pressure.
If this statement of mine is correct, I can conclude as a consequence that this reaction takes place in the atmosphere, especially in situations of heavy clouds and rain, in proportion to the amount of carbon dioxide available and its molecular interaction with rain droplets.

Is it possible to understand this reaction as part of the phenomenon called acid rain, or does such a characterization as acid rain only include the reaction between water and nitrogen oxides (NOx)?

Thanks in advance

Acid rain is based on SO₂ and NOx with water. Carbondioxide and water give carbonic acid, but the equilibrium is on the left side. Only with pressure together more like in Soda drinks.
