Why are raindrops larger than 5 millimeters rare?
◦ The frictional drag from falling is greater than the surface tension that holds the drops together when they get larger than 5 millimeters.
◦ There is no process to form large raindrops in clouds.
◦ If they form larger than 5 millimeters then they will reach the ground as snow or hail instead of rain because they cannot melt completely.
◦ Because they start as snowflakes, they must grow much larger than 5 millimeters while falling from a cloud without sublimating.
