  • they form when water in the form of gas (steam) condenses in clouds. the particles of water get near each other and become water liquid, and their weight pulls them to the ground (or your head... whichever comes first :p)
  • Condensation of water vapor in clouds creates tiny water droplets about 10 to 20 microns in diameter--less than the width of a human hair. These droplets are far too small to fall as raindrops, which are about a millimeter (a thousand microns) across and a million times heavier. To make raindrops, the droplets need to collide and stick together to create larger and larger droplets.
