yes there are ice crystals in some certain types of cloud, like irrus, because it is so high up the water freezes.
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.
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.
Tiny drops of water in the air are called mist or fog, depending on their density and visibility.
This process is known as condensation, where water vapor in the air transforms into liquid water droplets on a surface. The dust particles act as nuclei for the water vapor to gather around and form droplets. This phenomenon is common in the atmosphere and can lead to the creation of clouds or fog.
Drops. Raindrops form in clouds and grow until they can no longer remain suspended. While falling, they are not in the shape of a "teardrop", but rather a sphere which is slightly flattened on the bottom by air resistance.

precipitation
Suspended drops of liquid water are tiny water droplets that remain in the air due to factors like humidity, temperature, and air currents. These droplets can form clouds, fog, or mist, depending on their size and concentration.
condesation
Individual droplets are so small, that they can stay suspended in the air. If the droplets combine into larger drops that are too heavy to stay suspended, they fall as raindrops.
Tiny drops of liquid suspended in the air are typically from condensation of water vapor in the atmosphere. This can happen due to processes like evaporation, cooling of air, or mixing of air masses with different temperatures and humidity levels. These suspended liquid droplets can form clouds, fog, mist, or precipitation depending on the conditions.
cirrus
Water appears in the liquid state in the atmosphere in the form of clouds, fog and mist. These consist of millions of tiny drops of liquid water suspended in the air currents. If these collect together as bigger drops they can fall as rain.
