Answer:
the force of viscosity of air balances its weight.
Gravity does cause things to fall with increasing speed, but as they speed up viscous force due to air increases. Eventually the viscous force due to air is enough to balance the force of gravity, so the acceleration stops and the raindrop reaches a constant terminal velocity.
