If a cloud is very thin and high, why may rainfall reach the ground less?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Growth of rain-sized drops may be limited

Correct answer: A, growth of rain-sized drops may be limited. A cloud contains tiny water droplets or ice particles, but these must grow sufficiently before they can fall as measurable precipitation. A very thin, high cloud may contain less condensed water and may provide less opportunity for droplets or ice particles to combine and become large. Some particles may also evaporate while falling through drier air below the cloud. Therefore, little or no precipitation may reach the ground. Option A is correct because it states the relevant limitation on drop growth. B is wrong because clouds consist of water droplets and ice particles, not rock. C is wrong because clouds form in the atmosphere. D is wrong because the amount of light is not the controlling reason for rain reaching the surface. Memory cue: thin cloud means less water available for building rain-sized particles.
