Best Answer

Drops of rain form when water evaporates and turns into water vapor. While it is in the sky it condenses, and becomes water again. Then the water falls in droplets.

If it is cold enough, these drops can also turn into sleet, hail, or snow.

Does rain come from a sweating cloud?

No. Rain comes from clouds, but the clouds do not sweat. Clouds are made of water droplets, ice crystals, or a combination of the two. Rain falls when ice crystals grow inside a cloud, melt, and fall to the ground.


Compare and contrast the growth of cloud droplets and the growth of ice crystals?

Cloud droplets grow through condensation of water vapor onto aerosol particles, leading to collisions and coalescence. Ice crystals grow through deposition of water vapor onto a nuclei, forming hexagonal shapes. Ice crystals typically grow at lower temperatures and supersaturation levels compared to cloud droplets. Both processes contribute to the formation of precipitation in clouds.

Does snow freeze in the cloud or does it freeze in the air ONCE it comes out of the cloud?

All snow begins as snow through what is called the Bergeron process. Water droplets within a cloud get drawn to the tiny ice crystals in the cloud due to their lower vapor pressure. In doing so, they diffuse onto the ice crystals, causing them to grow. When they become large enough, they fall out of the cloud as snowflakes.
