How can raindrops get?

Raindrops are formed when tiny droplets are enlarged, first by moisture from the surrounding air condensing on them and then by coalescing with other droplets during their descent. Raindrops vary in size from about 0.02 in. (0.5 mm) to as much as 0.33 in. (8 mm) in thunderstorms.Raindrops come in many different sizes and can get to as big as a quarter inch. They cannot get bigger than that and the reason is that the wind resistance begins breaking them up into smaller raindrops.Raindrops don't get much larger than a quarter inch.


Why do raindrops vary in size?

Raindrops vary in size due to differences in temperature, pressure, and humidity in the atmosphere. Factors such as the collision and coalescence of smaller droplets, as well as the presence of ice crystals in clouds, can also influence the size of raindrops. Ultimately, variations in atmospheric conditions lead to a range of raindrop sizes falling to the ground.
