Depending on the size of the water droplets rain can fall anywhere from 5 to 18 MPH at sea level. Rain drops that would be large enough to fall faster than 18 MPH break up into smaller droplets once they reach this speed.

∙ 9y agoThe range of speed of a falling liquid depends on its size. Other factors that determine speed are wind and air friction. For example: in still air, rain drops will fall between seven and eighteen miles per hour.

Fall is to spring as fast is to?
slow
Atmospheric condensation liquid AND a small fluid unit?
raindrop
How many snow flakes does one raindrop make?
100
How fast does a raindrop travel?
Depending on the size of the raindrop and the wind speed, updrafts, downdrafts a raindrop can fall at the speed of light. The previous answer was obviously written by an idiot. A raindrop will fall at usually 3 to 8 metres/second. A raindrop will never ever be able to travel at the speed of light.
How fast does a normal raindrop falls?
1 second wow
Why does the raindrop fall on the water surface is round?
It is because the raindrops comes from the ocean.
Does rain drop fall with constant velocity?
No it does not, as a raindrop falls to earth it will gradually slow due to the changing terminal velocity. As a raindrop falls, water will evaporate from it causing the mass to decrease faster than the size and surface area. this will leave the raindrop with a higher surface area to mass ratio. Since air resistance is related to surface area and mass, the smaller raindrop will have more air resistance for its mass and will fall slower.
What is the duration of The Raindrop?
The duration of The Raindrop is 1.8 hours.
How fast does angel falls fall?
very fast how fast can u fall
Why does the front wind screen of a moving car get wet when rain is falling vertically downward?
-- A raindrop takes some time to fall through a distance equal to the height of the windscreen. -- In that length of time, the car moves some distance forward. -- Any raindrop that is directly in front of the windscreen, but nearer to it than the distance the car will move before the raindrop falls past the bottom of the windscreen, will splat against the windscreen as its fall is interrupted.
What is at the center of every raindrop?
At the center of every raindrop is dust. A tiny bit of dust in the center of every raindrop and go Ms.Bryan
Why doesn't a raindrop accelerate as it approaches the ground?
A falling snowflake or raindrop does not accelerate as it approaches the ground because their mass doesn't change. The form is not affected throughout the fall so it is already approaching the ground at terminal velocity. Hope this helps.
When was Master Raindrop created?
