Raindrops come in a vast variety of sizes. Just to precipitate, a cloud droplet has to increase in volume 1 million times to become rain drop sized. However, there is a bit of an upper limit to rain drop size. Bigger drops fall faster. As the speed and size increase so do turbulent forces on the droplet due to wind resistance. Eventually, large drops will be broken apart by the turbulence as they fall.

It is a condensation of water. When it gets big enough to where gravity wins over the updrafts in clouds, it falls down.

some freak climatic situations may bring about fish getting sent up into the air from close to the exterior of the water. Then they crumple lower back. that's an unusual factor to take place, whether it does take place now and then.
