How heavy is a drop of rain.....?

Question

it doesn'seem so heavy to me... so why, when it rains do they tell us to expect "heavy rain"....?

Answer 1

Have you ever tried standing beneath waterfall? Or carry water in a bucket..? I assure you, water is heavy... :-)))

Answer 2

No all round answer. Depends on too many variables including altitude, mass, speed ect.

Heavy is referring to the amount of rain not the weight of it.

Answer 3

its to try and make the weather seem more exciting. rain just sounds boring, but heavy rain is much more exciting

Answer 4

When its raining lightly it is very very light and when it rains heavily it weighs a ton and can bring down canopies, trees, carry cars away as well as animals and people....cause floods, landslides etc etc. so its very very heavy!!!!!
