Why do fog and mist droplets generally not fall like rainfall?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They are very small and can remain suspended in air

Answer: A. Fog and mist contain extremely small water droplets dispersed through air near the ground. Their small size means that air resistance is important compared with their weight, so gentle air movement and turbulence can keep them suspended. They may eventually combine into larger droplets and settle or contribute to wetting, but they do not normally fall as a continuous rainfall shower. A is correct because it gives the physical reason. B is false because the particles are water, not stone. C is false because gravity still acts on every droplet; suspension does not mean gravity disappears. D is false because fog and mist can occur over land as well as near water. Remember: tiny suspended droplets form fog or mist; larger collected drops are more likely to fall as precipitation.
