Why does rain fall in drops and not all at once?

Answer 1

Before rain can occur clouds have to form that occurs when the dew point reaches the LCL (lifting condensation level) producing clouds thats the beginning of the process. The scientific name and explanation of how rain forms is called the Bergeron Process. Rain will grow large enough to fall and hit other rain droplets on the way down and grow larger this is called collision coalescence process. When clouds can no longer hold the rain it falls and because of friction (air) if breaks up in to different sizes between 1-5 mm. Drizzle and mist is smaller then that Drizzle is from about .5mm-.9mm and mist is smaller then .5mm.
