alleryStokes' law explains why tiny cloud droplets stay in the air until they:
AGrow to a critical size
BCool below freezing point
CAre hit by sunlight
DBecome electrically charged
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Grow to a critical size
Small droplets fall so slowly that they stay suspended until they grow large enough to fall as rain.
