Water will condense if there are tiny particles in the air. The water molecules collect around the particles to form droplets. If droplets hit each other, they "coalesce" or form together to make larger drops. Once the droplets touch each other, the mutual attraction between the atoms hold them together in a mass (raindrop). Watch water droplets on your windshield group together and run down the windshield. This is the same process.

Surface tension with/on each individual water droplet keeps a drop from falling apart... Coalescence is when two drops come together.

Atmospheric pressure. As it builds, water vapor condenses and forms droplets which fall as rain.

A minute electrical charge on each droplet. When this gets too much you get lightning.

Yah the pressure up there is more intense,I agree with the first dude!

different charge of the particles - that's (not directly) why your kettle is steaming when boiling and not raining in the same time
