Is a raindrop a liquid?

Published in Raindrop Properties 1 min read

Yes, a raindrop is definitively a liquid.

The provided reference states clearly that raindrops are liquid water. This liquid nature allows water, and therefore raindrops, to flow. Gravity is the primary force that causes this downward flow. Though typically flowing downward, sufficient force can cause liquid water to move upward against gravity.

Feature Description
State of Matter Liquid
Composition Water (H₂O)
Primary Force Gravity
Flow Direction Downward (typically)

Essentially, the defining characteristics of a raindrop directly align with the properties of a liquid.
