Raindrops
category: Thack Facts


May 9, 2008

Raindrops typically fall between 7 and 18 miles per hour in still air.  Wind driven rain obviously can fall much faster.  Different sizes of raindrops fall at different rates.  As raindrops begin to exceed 18 miles per hour, friction in the air helps to break them apart.
