Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004419

A microscopic particle of liquid water, typically between 1 and 100 micrometers in diameter, that constitutes the visible mass of a cloud. These droplets form through the condensation of water vapor onto cloud condensation nuclei. They remain suspended in the air due to their small size and atmospheric updrafts.
