Rain drops can be suspended in the air until they reach a certain size that becomes too heavy for the air to support, typically around 2mm in diameter. Once raindrops surpass this size threshold, gravity overcomes air resistance and causes them to fall as precipitation.

To fall in drops of water from the clouds?

Rain is formed when water droplets in clouds combine and grow in size until they are too heavy to remain suspended, falling to the ground as precipitation. This process is known as precipitation, and rain is a common form of it.


When water drops become large and heavy enough they fall to the ground as rain?

Rain occurs when water droplets in clouds combine and grow in size until they are too heavy to be suspended in the air, causing them to fall as precipitation. This process is known as coalescence and is influenced by factors such as temperature, humidity, and air currents.


How much is a rain drop in liters?

Rain drops are not uniform in size, but the largest drops are about 20 to the ml (0.00005 l each). Very light rain (usually described as "sprinkling" or "misting") may have drops only 1% that large.


What is suspended drops of liquid water?

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.


Where do rain drops come from?

Rain drops come from water vapor in the air that condenses into liquid water droplets when the air cools and reaches a point where it can no longer hold as much moisture. These water droplets then gather in clouds, eventually combining and growing in size until they fall to the ground as rain.


When the rain falls the water drops in a cloud must reach a certain size or color?

A certain size to fall - color is irrelevant.


Describe how rain forms?

Rain forms when water vapor in the air cools and condenses into water droplets. These droplets combine and grow in size until they become too heavy to remain suspended in the air, falling to the ground as precipitation.


What is stalagmometer?

An instrument for measuring the size of drops suspended from a capillary tube, used in the drop-weight method. Also known as stactometer; stalogometer.


How large is a us quarter?

The first US quarters minted in 1796 ,1804,1805,1806 and 1807 were approximately 27.5 mm in diameter. Quarter minting was suspended until 1815 when the size was changed to 27 mm in diameter. This size quarter was minted until 1828 when quarter minting was again suspended. When it resumed again in 1831 the diameter had been changed to 24.3 mm and has been the standard for the US quarters until the present.


What is the simplest measure of variability in a data set?

In a small data set, the range. However, I would not like to try and find the range for the volume of rain drops, or the size of sand grains!


Why won't the rain sense wipers work on my 2002 Lincoln ls?

Rainsense wipers work using infared technology to count how many rain drops fill a specific area of the windhsield, how fast they fill that space and the size of the drops. If you are sure you are working the wipers correctly, then you need to have the system checked as it could be a loose connector or a bad infared sensor.


How big is an average rain drop?

On average, the size of a rain drop is 0.1-0.5mm. The size of a rain drop depends on the amount of water in an area together. For example, if there are a large number of water drops in a small area and they collide, they would then join together and become a bigger droplet. If they get too big, then then would split into yet another drop.
