it rains because the water droplets in the clouds increase too much and the water becomes too heavy for the clouds and it falls out. the temperature must be over 31 degrees Fahrenheit for rain.

∙ 15y agoSince rain comes from clouds, when the rain is released from the clouds, gravity pulls the raindrops down to the earth. Since the clouds that release the rain are off of the ground, the rain has nowhere to go but down, according to the laws of gravity.

∙ 14y agoBecause the water vapor in the air collects (condensates) around particles in the air before it becomes too heavy and falls.

Density of water is 1.0g cm^-3 while that of air is0.001gcm^-3 that is the reason why drops of rain fall downward

Which will fall faster large or small raindrops?
The maximum speed that raindrops can fall is around 18mph, depending on their size. Larger drops fall faster than smaller drops, due to their greater mass.
When does snowflakes happen?
There is a imanegery line in the sky which if any raindrops go past the line, they start to freeze into ice crystls and fall down to the ground.
Do you know about Hailstones?
== == Hailstones are raindrops that freeze as they fall through layers of very cold air. When they fall down from the sky hailstones are usually as big as peas. Sometimes they can be as big as tennis balls - so watch out!
How do you can you complete this phrase the raindrops dripped down the window pane like?
jelly
Which force is most responsible for raindrops falling to earth why are friction wind and thurst roungh?
Gravity is the only force that makes raindrops fall to Earth, so itmust also be the one most responsible for that phenomenmon.
What determines the direction in which raindrops fall during a heavy shower?
Gravity, which makes them fall down. Wind can also affect the direction somewhat.
What are two possible ways that raindrops fall?
Two possible ways for raindrops to fall:- One way is due to condensation The other way is due to the dashing of clouds

What fall to the ground when clouds become too heavy?
Raindrops
When does snowflakes happen?
There is a imanegery line in the sky which if any raindrops go past the line, they start to freeze into ice crystls and fall down to the ground.
What is the name for raindrops that freeze as they fall through the air?
it can be hail or snow
Why do snowflakes float in the air and don't fall faster than raindrops?
Because raindrops are round - snowflakes are flat. Being flat, they offer resistance to the air they're floating in - and thus fall slower.
Why do raindrops fall with a constant speed?
Gravity pushes the rain down at a constant speed. However something simple like wind can affect the rate it falls.

Why does the raindrop fall on the water surface is round?
It is because the raindrops comes from the ocean.
Why do raindrops vary in size?
I'm not completely sure but I think it is either because raindrops are water surrounding dust particles and the dust particles vary in size. Or it is because raindrops merge together as they fall causing them to expand.
What happens when raindrops fall on a tree leaves?
The rain falls off or turns into dew
