Why do clouds rain droplets and not a couple inch thick layer of water?
In: Physics
When you throw water from a hight, its gets shattered into small droplets due to atmospheric drag. So even if it may start as a thick layer, it wouldn’t make it to the ground in that shape or volume.
Fun experiment you can try: Throw a glass full of water from a height of 40 feets+ and observe how it breaks down. Now imagine how it would behave if it falls from the height where clouds are.
