"Water falling from the sky" includes a wide range of possibilities like "comets loaded with ice" and "just rain".
To identify the possibility meant, you trace the "context"; the context would tell you which of the "possibilities" is truly meant.
So it could mean either comets or rain. Imma go with 'rain'.

No. You "check the context", then you can identify which meaning was meant from the "wide range of possibilities".
