No, rain water is not distilled water . Rain water is the purest form of water on earth but due to many stages of water cycle it can turn harmful , sometimes rain water contains acids such as sulphuric acid or hydrochloric acid .It also contains dust particles of the atmosphere. So its not safe to drink rain water.

Thanks & Regards

No ….....though rainwater is pure..while precipitating several impurities are added and this is not good for drinking

Rain water is distilled but it is not good for drinking since it contains many impurities which are harmful. but if we purify the rain water it can be drink.
