When it rains, how long does it take for the first rain drop to hit the ground from the clounds?
543679
Typical raindrops fall at a rate of 14mph and large raindrops fall at 20mph. So about 4 minutes if a cloud a mile high.

it takes the rain man to figure it out!!!..............

It rains\nthe rain collects and then either:\n\nsoaks into the ground and comes out later\nflows into a river then the sea\n\nAt some point it evaporates and forms clouds\n\nthen it rains...\n\nsee above!

When the earth was forming it was extremely hot and water existed merely as vapour, if it fell it never reached the ground being in suspension constantly. Then when the first rains fell boy did they fall, and the rain cycle began.\n\nVapour clouds came first.

The rain drops because of gravity.

Hmmm, I get 0.033 Joules, not 0.33 Joules:\n\nW = F * r\nW = m * a * r\nW = (3.35e-5 kg) * (9.8 m/s^2) * (100m) = 0.033 Joules\n\nAs for the air resistance, well, the equation we did above was just the work done by gravity.  The total force is actually zero because the velocity is constant.  Therefore, there must an equal and opposite force preventing the  raindrop from accelerating...the air resistance.  \n\nF(total) = 0\nF(total) = F(grav) - F(air resistance)\ntherefore,\nF(grav) = F(air resistance)\n\n...note that the forces are the same over the whole length of the fall, but opposite in direction.  Since work is the dot product of force and distance (i.e. direction matters), the work done by air resistance will be equal to the work done by gravity but of opposite sign...-0.033 Joules.\n\nLet's be clear on this: The total work done on the raindrop is zero because it's not accelerating...but the gravitational force *is* doing work, and the air resistance is doing an equal amount of negative work.

It rained every Thursday - or at least it did somewhere in the World.\n\nPerhaps if you specified a geographical location then a local meteorologist might be able to give you the answer you're seeking.

To an extent it is true.  If dew has settled by morning, then that means there is less water vapor in the air.  If there is less water in the air, then it is less likely to condensate and fall.  However, after dew has settled, if it gets cold enough, it can still rain.

by the effect of wind.\n      the rain comes from too height & there the speed of air is very fast 'n' due to it the angle deflected.this deflected angle is very short but the height is too large so it seems like a big deflection.

I'll tell you why. Because if it were falling in a direction away from Earth, it wouldn't actually be falling at all, now would it?\n\nSee here's the process for rain. Heat causes water to evaporate into the atmosphere. When enough water accumulates together, it starts to look like clouds. And then, when it really starts accumulating, it begins to become too heavy to stay up there, so it falls back down to Earth.. Right, due to the Earth's gravitational pull.

Well if it's directly at the sun, then I'd say no more than 10-15 seconds, but if you're just staring, but not exactly directly at it, I'd say roughly around 20-25 minutes.

Often it tips for every tenth of inch of rain, but this value varies and sometimes it can be adjusted.\nIf this is the case (tipping for every 1/10 inch of rain), your answer is 1 inch.

Even though "showers" are indeed rain, there's a subtle but important distinction between the two as far as weather forecasts go. \nWhen we call for "Rain" (as in, "Rain at Times", "a rainy day", "Occasional rain") is a more widespread event. Most, if not all, of the area will see rain and it'll last for a while. \n\n"Showers" are more scattered. That usually means that not everyone will be getting wet at the same time. It could be raining in one place and another, but dry in other regions. Plus, showers tend to be much shorter in duration -- anywhere from a minute to an hour.

Rain forces down cooler air from the atmosphere.
