What is collision coalescence theory of cloud precipitation?
One theory explaining how the behavior of individual droplets leads to the formation of clouds is the collision-coalescence process. Droplets suspended in the air will interact with each other, either by colliding and bouncing off each other or by combining to form a larger droplet. Eventually, the droplets become large enough that they fall to the earth as precipitation. The collision-coalescence process does not make up a significant part of cloud formation as water droplets have a relatively high surface tension. Sources: Wikipedia
The steps in cloud formation?
The sun evaporates water from lakes and oceans. As the air rises, it cools. The water vapor condenses into tiny droplets of water. The droplets crowd together and form a cloud. Wind blows the cloud (you answered 'droplet') towards the land. The tiny droplets join together and fall as precipitation to the ground. The water soaks into the ground and collects in rivers and lakes. The cycle that never ends has started again!
Why does cloud droplet and ice crystal size influence the probability that clouds will produce precipitation?
This is because the larger the cloud droplet size, the heavier the clouds will become which causes them to rupture and produce precipitation.
What property of water allows it to form droplets?
One of the properties of water that influences droplet formation is the surface tension. Generally a substance when it is in the gaseous state and in a condition of saturation, the substance will condense as the temperature and/or pressure change forming droplets.
When two water droplets merge with each other to form a large droplet energy is liberated?
Yes bt an any1 explain y?

Why do clouds release precipitation?
Cloud formation takes place when the temperature drops. If the temperature drops to the "dew point" droplet formation takes place. Usually for a droplet to form it takes a "nucleus of condensation" which is a speck of dust or something like that. There is lots of dust in the air, thus droplets can freely form. The atmosphere contains lots of moisture and when the air cools it cant hold the moisture any longer thus we get rain. So if a nucleus of condensation is present and the temperature drops, we get droplet formation.
What does water do in the water cycle?
Gets evaporated into condensation. Water droplets get formed by the condensation & the more condensation gets added to the droplet, the heavier the droplet gets. When water droplets get heavy enough, they fall (this is called Precipitation). Water also gets evaporated from the trees (this is called Transpiration).
If there is a bigger water droplet size is there a better chance of precipitation?
direct chance of precipitation increases and water droplet increases

What is droplets in singular possessive form?
The singular noun is droplet. The singular possessive form is droplet's.Example: A single droplet's outline marred the table top.

This is because the larger the cloud droplet size, the heavier the clouds will become which causes them to rupture and produce precipitation.
What are the signs and symptoms of droplet infections?
A Droplet Infection is acquired through the respiratory tract. Sneezing, Coughing or inhaling droplets from the air. Always wear a mask when in direct contact with someone suffering from droplet infection
What is coalesced?
coalescence when cloud droplets collide, then join together to form a larger droplet in a process
Where is the state of Qatar coin from?
Some say that Qatar looks like a droplet. Qatar means droplets.
What happens if droplets of condensation become to big?
The force of gravity from the growing mass of the droplet will overcome the force of tension between the droplet and the surface the water tension is "holding" it to. Once gravity is larger than tension, the droplet falls to the ground.
