The way you worded the question sounds like the answer would be gravity, a pulling force.

What is a definition of rain?
Drops of water that fall from clouds.
Is rain a force?
No. What brings rain down, gravity, is a force. Rain is simply water being pulled down by gravity in little drops from clouds in the sky.
Why does snow and rain fall downwards?
Like anything else with mass, the snowflakes and raindrops that form in clouds are attracted by the force of gravity. The earth, being the largest mass in the vicinity, overpowers the gravitational attraction of all other masses. Snowflakes and raindrops fall downwards because this net downward gravitational force also overcomes the upward forces of the air between the clouds and the earth's surface. Note that the smaller water droplets and ice crystals that make up the clouds also have mass and are attracted by the earth's gravity. However they do not fall downwards because the upward force of the currents of air below balances the downward gravitational force.
Why rain occurs when drops of water fall through air?
It's just the way clouds release excess water.
How can water change from liquid into a vapor and back again?
It is a cycle like when the clouds clash it causes rain then people use it.
What causes rain or hail to begin to fall?
rain: the clouds collect eough water from the ocean to the clouds and the clouds get too heavy and have to fall down. hail: the water from the clouds get frozen and turn into snow
Does rain fall from cumulonimbus clouds?
yes often heavy rain but rain can fall from different types of clouds
What causes percipitation?
Cold air and warm air coming together in a front, or water evaporating, condensing into clouds, and then the clouds fall down as rain.
What is causes of precipitation?
Cold air and warm air coming together in a front, or water evaporating, condensing into clouds, and then the clouds fall down as rain.
What causes clouds to precipitate?
the rain and the clouds when there big
Does rain fall from clouds?
yes.
What caused the clouds to collapse?
Clouds don't really collapse but they do 'fall' from the sky as rain. You see clouds are made from water vapour that evaporate from the sea forming clouds and think how do they fall the fall by rain the water vapour creates water droplets and it's too heavy so they fall by rain
Do clouds condense and fall as rain?
Yes, clouds are basically water.
When does rain fall from clouds?
When air is rising.
How much water can a clouds hold?
The clouds are rain. all the clouds are is water vapor(thats a fancy name for microscopic water) the water is so SMALL in the clouds it is too light to fall. then when it is heavy enough to fall you get rain
What kind of clouds are rain clouds?
All clouds are rain clouds. You just have to know when the rain will rall out of them. When a clou is really grey the rain in that cloud is going to fall soon. If the cloud is white it is NOT going to rain!There You Go!AnswerAll clouds are rain clouds. You just have to know when the rain will rall out of them. When a clou is really grey the rain in that cloud is going to fall soon. If the cloud is white it is NOT going to rain!There You Go!NO NO NO!!!!!!! u have it all wrong!A cumulusnimbus cloud is a rain cloud!Well, at least that's what my science teacher said
Large water droplets that fall out of clouds?
rain
