Fingers That Make Rain

By Sherry Riter 32 Comments

Rain is a necessary part of life,
but you won’t believe the next
two minutes after you push PLAY…

“Somewhere over the rainbow,
skies are blue,
and the dreams that you dare to dream
really do come true”

~Lyman Frank Baum~

A. Raindrops are not tear-shaped,
as most people think.

B. Very small raindrops are almost spherical in shape.

C. Larger raindrops become flattened at the bottom,
like that of a hamburger bun, due to air resistance.

D. Large raindrops have a large amount of air resistance,
which makes them begin to become unstable.

E. Very large raindrops split into
smaller raindrops due to air resistance.


The umbrella was originally invented to
protect people from the hot sun
– not the rain!


Big, heavy raindrops can fall at speeds
up to 22 miles per hour!

“The way I see it,
if you want the rainbow,
you gotta put up with the rain.”

~Dolly Parton~

    that last quote is wonderful! by sheer coincidence, my mum sent me this clip by email a few days ago – it's amazing isn't it? i love pressing play and closing my eyes – you wouldn't think it's not the real thing!

    And if you're in the hot, sweltering humid Asia, rain is actually a welcome treat especially to kids everytime! I used to play in the rain A LOT! Thanks to the little scientific details about the shape of the rain. Never knew that.

    Incredible! Loved it! NO WORDS!… just one.. Would you believe me if I tell you my job is to study raindrops/weather events? and specially take into account that in effect they are not teardrop formed but hamburger like?!
