they get bigger because the water droplets are cold and there is also water vapour in the air which is hotand when they meet the water vapour changes back to water droplets which then combine with the water droplets falling from the thunder cloud!!

What makes thunder clouds?

Thunderstorms are caused by the rapid upward movement of warm, moistair. They can occur inside warm, moist air masses and at fronts. As the warm, moist air moves upward, it cools, condenses, and forms cumulonimbus clouds that can reach heights of over 20km (12.45 miles). As the rising air reaches itsdew point, water droplets and ice form and begin falling the long distance through the clouds towards the Earth's surface. As the droplets fall, they collide with other droplets and become larger. The falling droplets create a downdraft of air that spreads out at the Earth's surface and causes strong winds associated commonly with thunderstorms.


Ignoring air resistance what is the velocity of an object falling toward the surface of the earth?

The velocity of an object falling towards the surface of the Earth will increase by a rate of approximately 9.8 m/s² due to gravity. This acceleration would continue until the object reaches terminal velocity or impacts the surface of the Earth.


What rain falls 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.


How do you get a rainbow?

A rainbow is the result of white sunlight being split up (refracted) into it's separate colours by the denser water droplets floating in air and then reflected back towards the source (the sun) by the surface of water droplets behind. The bow shape represents the perspective from the spectator, who has to be in between the source and the cloud of droplets to see a full rainbow.


Is the moon falling towards the earth?

No, the moon is not falling towards the Earth. It is actually moving away from our planet at a very slow rate.


What is a freely falling projectile?

A freely falling projectile is an object that is only acted upon by gravity, moving through the air in a parabolic path while falling towards the ground. It does not have any initial horizontal force or acceleration other than gravity acting upon it.


Why does water eventually fall from clouds?

Water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into liquid water droplets as it cools and reaches saturation. When these droplets become large enough, they fall from clouds as precipitation such as rain or snow due to the force of gravity pulling them towards the Earth's surface.


What causes a satellite to stay in orbit rather than falling towards earth?

Its forward motion. Please understand that something in orbit IS falling towards Earth.

How are falling apples and the moon orbit of the moon alike?

They are both falling as a constant acceleration towards the earth


How does gravity affect the veloctiy of falling objects?

The force of gravity will accelerate the falling objects towards itself.
