When you turn on a tap, the water comes gushing out in a bit of a whirly splashy mess. When you see rain falling, its in perfect lines and all in the same direction depending on the wind conditions at the time, and usually identically sized droplets like if you see on a car windscreen when you dont turn the wipers on for example. All the individual droplets look more or less exactly the same.

Rain drops are drops of moisture that condensed in the cloud until it they were too heavy to stay aloft. So they’re all going to be about the same size.
Bigger raindrops are associated with more powerful storms, where the moisture condensed into drops faster and thus became heavier before they fell.
