Smacking comets into a dead land isn't going to revive anything.
No; use the actual word used: i.e "water". Not "comet".
He didn't use the word "rain". He used the word "water".
Water is not rain. We never say "the sky is "watering". Also in Arabic we never use water to describe rainfall.
You know that wet stuff that falls out of the sky? What's that made of, exactly?
