AnswerAn acre is 43,560 sq. ft. x 12 = 522,720 sq. in.

At a depth of one inch, it's the same number of cubic inches.

Water weighs 0.036127 lb/cu.in.

43560*12*.036127= 18,884.30544 pounds, or 9.44215272 tons

This is totally wrong. There is not 12 inches per square foot! There is 144 square iches in a square foot!

43560*144 = 6,272,640 square inches per acre!

6,272,640 cu. in. * 0.036127 lbs/cu. in. = 226611.7 lbs or 113.3 tons per inch or water on a acre!

1 acre foot is the volume of 1 foot deep, covering 1 acre area (43560 sq.ft). So 1 acre foot is equal to (1 ft) x (43560 ft²) = 43560 ft³. Using density of fresh water (usually acre foot refers to a fresh water situation) of 62.43 pounds per cubic foot, gives 2719450.8 pounds, or 1359.7 tons.

How many ounces are in 1 of rain?

You haven't put any units in against the '1' in your question, so do you mean 1 mm, or 1 inch or what? Anyway, rainfall is measured, maybe in inches, over the area on which it falls. So if you had a very local shower of 1 inch but it only covered 1 acre, the weight of rain would not be nearly so much as 1 inch on 20 acres.
