Because of their small size, cloud droplets have a very large surface area in proportion to their volume, which means they have an extremely slow terminal velocity. As a result, they are easily kept aloft by air currents. Additionally, because the air below a cloud is unsaturated, a cloud droplet would evaporate as soon as it existed the cloud.

Water droplets do not fall as soon as they are formed is because they are not heavy enough to drop to the ground. Hope this can help...

they don't form because the precipitation or whatever is gonna come out the clouds needs to form inside the clouds first before it falls

What is huge gatherings of water droplets that hasn't fallen to the ground yet?

That'd be clouds.


what happens when clouds are full of water?

When clouds get so full of water droplets that they can't hold any more, the water falls back to the ground as rain! Sometimes the water droplets freeze and fall to the ground as snow, sleet, or hail. Water or ice that comes from clouds is called precipitation.


What is a visible mass of water or ice droplets above the ground?

A cloud or fog. Fog touches the ground, clouds dont.


How do clouds form when water droplets grow?

the water from the sea or ocean goes up the clouds then the water droplets grow.


When you see clouds or fog you see water in which state?

The forming of water droplets and clouds in the atmosphere?

The forming of water droplets and clouds in the atmosphere is referred to as condensation.


How do clouds hold water when there is rain?

Clouds are made of condensed water vapor droplets. When the droplets merge with increasing condensation, they get heavier and gravity drops them to the ground in the form of rain. The clouds are loaded with moisture and produce millions of gallons of water, so they do not run out of water very quickly when it continues to rain


How does the clouds make water?

Simple answer: They don't. Clouds ARE water - tiny, tiny droplets of water just like fog. If colder air moves into a cloud, it causes there to be even more water droplets forming. When the droplets get close enough together, they start touching and turning themselves into even larger droplets. Then the "even larger" water droplets touch, and make water drops . . . at some point in this process, the water droplets grow large enough that they are too heavy to stay where they are, and then they fall to the ground. This falling to the ground is what we call, "Rain".


Why are stratus clouds made of water droplets?

Stratus clouds are mostly made of water droplets.


Huge gatherings of tiny water droplets that haven't fallen to the ground yet are called?

The answer is clouds, but it has a chance of being fog or mist.


What type of cloud is not made of water droplets?

Cirrus clouds are not made out of water droplets.


How does water vapor condense into water droplets?

water vapour go up into the clouds as a gas causing the clouds to get heavy thus releasing water droplets
