The term for water droplets that have accumulated in the air and become heavy enough to fall back to Earth is "precipitation." This includes various forms such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, depending on atmospheric conditions. Precipitation is a key component of the water cycle, facilitating the transfer of water from the atmosphere back to the surface.
As water vapor rises into the troposphere, it cools and condenses into tiny water droplets or ice crystals, forming clouds. This process releases latent heat, which warms the surrounding air and can lead to further rising of air, contributing to convection currents. Eventually, the accumulated moisture may lead to precipitation, such as rain or snow, as the droplets coalesce and become heavy enough to fall back to the Earth's surface.
The tiny water droplets in the sky form clouds.
When water droplets form around dust particles and become heavy enough to fall out of the clouds, we have precipitation. This process typically occurs when the droplets coalesce and grow larger through collision and merging with other droplets. Once they reach a sufficient size, gravity pulls them down to the earth as rain, snow, or other forms of precipitation. This is a crucial part of the water cycle, replenishing water sources on the ground.
When cloud droplets combine and grow large enough to fall to earth, they form precipitation like rain or snow. This process is known as coalescence, where smaller droplets collide and merge into larger drops due to gravity. Eventually, these larger drops become heavy enough to overcome the upward currents within the cloud and fall as precipitation.
Water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into liquid water droplets as it cools and reaches saturation. When these droplets become large enough, they fall from clouds as precipitation such as rain or snow due to the force of gravity pulling them towards the Earth's surface.

Liquid water droplets that have condensed from atmospheric vapor. When enough of these droplets have accumulated in the clouds, they become heavy enough to fall to earth.
Droplets that become large and heavy enough to fall to the Earth's surface are known as raindrops. When these droplets accumulate and grow in size due to water vapor condensation in the clouds, they eventually become too heavy to be supported by the air currents and gravity pulls them down as precipitation.
Water droplets fall to Earth as precipitation when they accumulate in clouds and become too heavy to remain suspended. This can happen through a process called coalescence, where smaller droplets merge together to form larger droplets that eventually fall as rain, snow, sleet, or hail depending on the atmospheric conditions.
When water droplets fall to the earth, it is called rain.

Why do the clouds droplets not fall to the earth
The process is called coalescence, where smaller water droplets in clouds collide and merge together to form larger droplets. When these droplets become heavy enough, they fall to the ground as precipitation, such as rain or snow.
Rain falls to the ground from clouds when water droplets in the clouds combine to form larger droplets that become heavy enough to fall due to gravity.
Water droplets fall to Earth as precipitation when they become too heavy to remain suspended in the atmosphere. This can occur due to processes like coalescence, where smaller droplets combine to form larger ones, or when the droplets freeze into ice particles. Once these droplets or ice particles reach a critical size, gravity pulls them down as precipitation.
Water vapor (that has evaporated) condenses into cloud droplets in the cooler atmosphere. Many of these droplets form clouds. When enough water molecules with the clouds form together, they become too heavy for the upward flowing air to keep them in the cloud. The droplets then fall back down to earth as precipitation, rain being the most common form.
