Question

why do rain drops float in the sky

Answer 1

rain drops float in the sky because even though typical clouds do contain a lot of water, this water is spread out for miles in the form of tiny water droplets or crystals, which are so small that the effect of gravity on them is negligible. Thus, from our vantage on the ground, clouds seem to float in the sky.

Here is ur answer ⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇

⚫ As the rule of thumb you can always(almost) assume that the things with less density float on things with higher density. And water do have less density than air, so people often think- Why the heck it does float in air?

The explanation is rather simple.
The cloud is not only millions of pounds of water. It has a lot of air among it’s tiny little drops. These droplets are so small that in order to make a drop of 5mm (millimeter) diameter we need about 5 to 8 million of smaller droplets(Which are present in cloud).

And gravity isn’t just only force being applied on these tiny droplets. The air also pushes them upward. The net effect of forces determine the luck of those droplets.

When the upward pressure of air is higher they stay in the air. And when these tiny droplets combine the force of gravity becomes higher and you get rain.

Hope it helps.

Thumbs up dude!!!!
