they are droplets of water ( the water that drops from clouds are 0.02 mm an average rain drop is 2 mm ) or they are droplets of ice (like hail)

Why do cloud droplets not fall to the earth's surface as soon as they are formed?

The surface area to volume ratio of cloud droplets is very high, which results in an extremely slow terminal velocity. Such droplets are easily held aloft even by very weak air currents. Even if the droplets to start to fall, they will evaporate quickly in the unsaturated air below the clouds.


When the what and what are right the small droplets of water in clouds form larger droplets andprecipation occurs?

When the cloud reaches saturation level and the air can no longer hold the water vapor, small water droplets in the cloud combine to form larger droplets. When these droplets become heavy enough, they fall to the ground as precipitation, such as rain or snow.


What is the weather condition in which clouds touch the surface of the earth?

The weather condition where clouds touch the surface of the earth is called fog. It occurs when the air near the ground cools to the point where it can no longer hold its moisture, causing the water vapor to condense into tiny water droplets that form a cloud near the surface.


What does rain fall in?

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.


If magma crystallizes before it reaches earths surface it will form a what igneous rock?

It will for an intrusive igneous rock. They usually take longer to cool and have more coarse grains.

Where do the droplets of water outside the glass came from?

The droplets of water outside the glass likely came from condensation. When warm air comes into contact with a colder surface, such as the glass, the air cools down and can no longer hold as much moisture. This excess moisture then forms droplets on the cooler surface, which is the condensation you see on the outside of the glass.

Water droplets in the clouds become cool dense and heavy and can no longer remain in the air?

The cool, dense, and heavy water droplets in the cloud eventually combine to form larger droplets or ice crystals. When these droplets or crystals become too heavy to be supported by the air currents in the cloud, they fall to the ground as precipitation, such as rain or snow.

Why are some minerals stable several kilometers underground but unstable at Earths surface?

This is because the minerals are no longer under P + T and as a result are more unstable


Is the force of gravity on the Moon's surface is weaker than that on the earths surface?

Yes. That's why when astronauts land there their steps are longer and why they don't way as much there. It's also why we don't revolve (literally) around the moon


How does the angle of the sun as it hits earths surface effect the length of the shadows?

When the sun is at a low angle, shadows are longer because the sunlight has to travel through more atmosphere before reaching the surface, thus making the shadows appear elongated. As the sun rises higher in the sky, shadows become shorter due to the more direct path of sunlight reaching the surface.

Why the water droplets on a spider web are no longer seen in the day that warmer?

Evaporation occurs when the liquid (dewy) appearance of the water droplets turn into a vapor and disappear.
