If droplets in a cloud are very small how can they remain in the air?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They can remain suspended because they are light

Correct answer: A. Cloud droplets are extremely small, so each droplet has very little mass and a low falling speed. Air movement, turbulence, and gentle upward currents can keep such droplets suspended for a time. Gravity still acts on them, but their small size means that they do not immediately fall to the ground like large raindrops. As droplets collide and join together, they may become larger and heavier; when air resistance and upward movement can no longer support them, they fall as precipitation. Option A is correct because it refers to their small size and suspension. Option B is wrong because droplets do not become rock. Option C is wrong because gravity acts on every mass. Option D is wrong because cloud droplets are part of Earth’s water cycle. Memory cue: tiny droplets can float with air movement; larger drops fall as rain.
