What is the main physical difference between cloud droplets and raindrops?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Cloud droplets are small and suspended, while raindrops are larger and fall

Answer: A. Cloud droplets are usually very small, so air resistance and gentle upward air movements can keep them suspended within a cloud. They may grow through condensation and through collisions and merging with other droplets. Once a drop becomes sufficiently large and heavy, gravity overcomes the supporting air movement and it falls as precipitation. A correctly contrasts small suspended droplets with larger falling drops. B is wrong because cloud droplets are water or ice, not rock. C is self-contradictory because raindrops are liquid water. D is wrong because the size and fall behaviour are important differences, even though there is no single sharp boundary between every cloud droplet and every raindrop. Memory cue: tiny droplets float; larger drops fall.
