Yes, raindrops are tiny water droplets that form in clouds and fall to the ground due to gravity. These raindrops can vary in size, but are generally small and contribute to rainfall.

What is spitting rain?

Spitting rain is very light rain, with relatively few droplets.


What is the very fine rain called?

The very fine rain is called mist or drizzle. It consists of very small water droplets that fall slowly and lightly from the sky.


Why rain drop falling under gravity do not gain very high velocity?

Raindrops falling under gravity do not gain very high velocity due to air resistance. As raindrops fall through the atmosphere, they experience a force opposite to their direction of motion, which slows them down. The balance between gravity and air resistance limits the maximum velocity that raindrops can achieve.


Clouds are very high in the sky but the rain-drops falling from the clouds havelow velocities as they reach the ground.?

the reason why is because of the shape and weight if the rain drop. the weight of a rain drop is less than a gram and the shape of one when falling from the sky, has a lot of drag. this means that the terminal velocity of a rain drop is very slow


Which fall faster big rain drop or small rain drop?

The viscosity of air provides a drag force on a raindrop and keeps it from falling with the acceleration of gravity. When a drop is falling (assuming it does not combine with other drops in the process) it will reach a terminal velocity which depends on its diameter. The larger the diameter the larger the terminal velocity. Specifically, the terminal velocity is proportional to the square root of the diameter of the drop. Big rain drops fall faster than small rain drops. See related links for details and equations.


Which raindrops if either fall faster small ones or large ones?

If you exclude the resistance the air has on the two raindrops, both the small and the lager raindrops will travel at the same speed i.e. 32ft a second every second (The first second 32ft, the second second 64ft per second and so on). But because we do have air resistance which will resist the gravitational attraction, the raindrop with the larger mass will reach the ground first. As a point of further interest, if an object falls from a very high altitude the resistance of the air will equal the pull of gravity and the object will continue to fall at the same speed, this is called terminal velocity.


A light rain is called?

Drizzle, or Sprinkle... or just straight up ''light rain''


WHO GETS WET FASTER A MAN STANDING UNDER THE RAIN OR A MAN THAT IS RUNNING?

This has been demonstrated by the 'Myth buster' team. If you merely stand still, or even if you walk very slowly, you will accumulate more rain. If you run at moderate speed, you will receive less rain.

What does the word droplet mean?

A droplet is a very small drop of a liquid. It is typically used to describe tiny, spherical or nearly spherical particles of liquid. For example, raindrops are droplets of water falling from the sky, and when you put a drop of water on a surface,


Light mist of droplets falling to the earth are called?

The light mist of droplets falling to the earth is called "drizzle." Drizzle consists of very small water droplets that appear as a fine mist or light rain.


What is atomised rain and how is it formed?

Atomised rain is rain accelerated to the point where it splits into much smaller droplets as a result of high velocity winds. According to a late Itv1 program broadcast on 08/05/12, it only forms in the vicinity of a tornado, and feels like a thousand tiny needles b.
