Rain don't fall up because mainly of gravity. Raindrops that are more dense than surrounding air will fall depending on the size of the rain drop larger rain drops falls faster than smaller rain drops due to air resistance.
Rain in the clouds sometimes go up if the updrafts is strong enough. If the updraft is strong enough for the rain the be blown into subfreezing zone of a storm cloud, the rain will form to ice and fall back down, if it continues to fall up and down within a cloud, hail can fall as an result. Sometimes, if the hail stone is small in the cloud, it will melt before impacting the surface, but if large enough, hail can fall.

Rain can go up. In a thunderstorm the rain cycles up and down. That is how hail is formed and how it grows. (The rain falls downward through the air mass, but the air mas is being carried up even faster). Expansion cools the air, which cools the water--freezing it.

Some does sort of. Hail is just rain drops that get caught in updrafts, freeze, fall, get caught again, refreeze, fall. This process is repeated until the frozen water gets too heavy and falls as hail and bonks you on the head. If you live in the Midwest you know all about giant hailstones and the damage they can do.

gravity pulls the rain toward earth to get rain to go up there would require more mass in the sky to make the rain go up.

Rain is denser than air, so gravity pulls on it with more force than the buoyant force that the air gives it. Hence it travels downward.

Because gravity is an attractive and not a repulsive force
