What makes it rain? Rain falls from clouds for the same reason anything falls to Earth. The Earth's gravity pulls it. But
every cloud is made of water droplets or ice crystals. Why doesn't rain or snow fall constantly from all clouds'! The droplets or
ice crystals in clouds are Line exceedingly small. The effect of gravity on them is minute. Air currents move and lift droplets so
that the net downward displacement is zero, even though the droplets are in constant motion.

Droplets and ice crystals behave somewhat like dust in the air made visible in a shaft of sunlight. To the casual
observer, dust seems to act in a totally random fashion, moving about chaotically without fixed direction. But in fact dust
particles are much larger than water droplets and they finally fall. The average size of a cloud droplet is only 0.0004 inch in
diameter. It is so small that it would take sixteen hours to fall half a mile in perfectly still air, and it does not fall out of moving
air at all. Only when the droplet grows to a diameter of 0.008 inch or larger can it fall from the cloud. The average raindrop
contains a million times as much water as a tiny cloud droplet. The growth of a cloud droplet to a size large enough to fall out is
the cause of rain and other forms of precipitation. This important growth process is called "coalescence."
