Clouds are very high in the sky but the rain-drops falling from the clouds havelow velocities as they reach the ground.?

the reason why is because of the shape and weight if the rain drop. the weight of a rain drop is less than a gram and the shape of one when falling from the sky, has a lot of drag. this means that the terminal velocity of a rain drop is very slow


What is a good name for a water drop?

Tear, rain.


The water that drop from cloud is called?

It is known as rain.


Whats the journey of a rain drop?

Known as the water cycle, basically, water is evaporated off the oceans and form clouds. The clouds drop rain on the land, and the rain water flows downwards and into rivers, and returns to the ocean. The water cycle then continues.


Why a larger rain drop falls faster than a small rain drop?

Considering the rain droplets as spherical body. We have two forces acting on the rain drop when it is falling through the sky, namely the resistance force due to friction(drag force)upwards and its weight downwards. Th rain drop falling from such distance attain a terminal velocity while falling i.e their speed becomes constant after sometime. This happens when the drag force equals the weight of drop,, this happens because drag force increases with velocity of the drop. Drag force= .5*rho*v2*A(frontal area)*Cd(coefficient of drag) Weight=m*g=rho*volume of spherical drop=rho*4/3*r3. When we equalize it, we get the Terminal Velocity(v) varying directly as sqr of r(radius of drop) So larger drop means, larger terminal velocity and hence less time taken for falling. So larger rain drop falls faster.
