Evaporation
Rain comes in drops because water droplets in clouds merge together to form larger drops due to gravity and air resistance. Eventually, these drops become heavy enough to fall to the ground as raindrops.
Water drops that fall when the temperature is below freezing, fall as SNOW . Water drops that fall when the temperature is above freezing fall as RAIN .
Acidic rain drops fall for the same reason that normal rain drops fall: They are too dense to remain suspended in the atmosphere.Related Information:Acid rain occurs when acidic chemicals mix with water vapor forming clouds, and then aqueous droplets that fall as rain.
When cloud droplets combine to form larger drops, they fall to the Earth as rain.
A lot
es the rain drops have energy in the motion as they fall
because they are frozen rain drops
Large drops of rain fall from cumulonimbus clouds due to the strong updrafts within the cloud that keep precipitation suspended in the cloud until the drops become too heavy to be supported. Once the drops become too heavy, they fall to the ground as rain.
It is called precipitation when raindrops fall to the earth.
When raindrops fall to the earth, it is called precipitation.
Rain is water falling in drops from vapor condensed in the atmosphere. It is also drops of fresh water that fall as precipitation from clouds.
Frozen drops of rain that fall as pellets of ice and water are called sleet. Sleet is formed when snowflakes partially melt as they fall through a warm layer of air, then refreeze into ice pellets before reaching the ground.
