The answer to this question would be:4.5

A solution is said to have an acid if its pH was less than 7. But, typical acid rain would have pH less than 5. The pH can be much lower because the rain is containing sulfur dioxide or nitrogen dioxide from the automobile or powerplant waste. Acid rain is dangerous as the acid can easily destroy metal and other things.
