Why can’t rain, or snow, fall in large units? It’s always small, single drops or flakes, and never one huge drop or snowball. The largest precipitation we see is normally hail, which can fall in single units the size of softballs or larger. Why can’t the other types fall in units that large?

Think of clouds as a dense mist of water. When it condenses or gets too heavy, it drops and doesnt have time to gather more.
Think about the condensation on the outside of a cold water bottle. You see the individual droplets form, and as they fall they catch other droplets and get bigger as they fall. With rain in clouds, they just drop straight down and have a really small chance to catch another droplet and get bigger
