A raindrop’s journey reveals the water cycle’s physics, ecology, and the choices shaping our flood- and drought-prone world.
Raindrops often fall faster near the ground than in the clouds due to air pressure changes on descent.
A single raindrop can contain up to 1,000,000 bacteria, hitchhiking through the atmosphere to oceans.
Water from a cloud-to-sea journey can cycle thousands of times before permanent evaporation, fueling global rainfall budgets.
Most raindrops originate from microscopic particles smaller than a human hair, yet sculpt entire weather systems and climates.
