How The Amount Of Rain Affects The Size Of Raindrops
Did you know that raindrops come in different sizes?
It's true! The size of raindroops has a lot to do with how many other rain drops the single raindrop meets while still in the air. Every time a raindrop meets another, they combine and get bigger, until the single drop gets too big to stay intact as one.
Raindrops can fall even when the ground-level relative humidity is lower than 100%. Interestingly, some storms may be so quick, the ground-level relative humidity may not even reach 100%!
