	The Rainbow
		The variables influencing the rainbow are the altitude of the sun, and the size of the raindrops in which the rainbow is seen.
		Two raindrops are shown in the sky, one in a position to show part of the primary bow to the observer at O, the other showing part of the secondary bow.
		Raindrops are generally larger than 0.5 mm in diameter, and range upwards to several millimetres.

	BBC NEWS \| Science/Nature \| Monster raindrops delight experts
		In fact, raindrops with diameters larger than 2mm are flattened on their undersides and gradually change in shape from spherical to jellyfish-shaped.
		Images of the raindrops were taken by a laser instrument on a research plane that flew through cumulus congestus clouds spawned by burning forest in Brazil's Amazon and in clean marine air over the Marshall Islands.
		However, this was clearly not the case for the mammoth raindrops observed in the Marshall Islands.

	Raindrops go ballistic in research on soil erosion
		At that scale, raindrops hitting bare ground have nearly the force of a hammer hitting a mound of dirt.
		The distance was great enough where raindrops, coming from the syringe, could achieve terminal velocity (the fastest speed they can fall through still air).
		A 5 mm raindrop traveling at terminal velocity would hit the sand target at a relative force of 20 mph.

	Rain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Falling raindrops are often depicted in cartoons or anime as "teardrop-shaped" — round at the bottom and narrowing towards the top — but this is incorrect.
		The shape of raindrops was studied by Philipp Lenard in 1898.
		Raindrops impact at their terminal velocity, which is greater for larger drops.

		When we think of raindrops, we tend to have a very narrow vision of what they are, how they look, what their size and composition are.
		Bentley's apparatus for gathering raindrops was a marvel of simplicity; he collected raindrops in a pan of wheat flour.
		Bentley found the maximum raindrop size to be around 6 to 8 mm (0.24 to 0.31 inches) in diameter, in agreement with the findings of Lenard that drops larger than 6 mm usually broke apart.

	Rays through a large raindrop
		Raindrops are never the tear shaped objects beloved of illustrators.
		Small raindrops are kept strongly spherical by surface tension forces.
		However, when raindrops are a millimetre or so in diameter the straight line rays are a reasonable approximation to some aspects of how light behaves.

	The Rainbow Bridge by Raymond Lee and Alistair B. Fraser
		Put another way, the rainbow is a mosaic of light sent to you by many raindrops as they fall through the surface of the imaginary cone whose tip is at your eye and whose radius is 42 degrees (Figs.
		Since the raindrops are falling, their supply must be uninterrupted if the bow is to last.
		As a result, all sizes of raindrops contribute to the rainbow near its base, and large drops make this part of the bow both bright and colorful.

	The Raindrops at Spectropop
		The Raindrops was the womb from which two incredible rock ‘n' roll dynamos would spring: A pair of peerless producers, songwriters and session musicians whose work, both together and separately, would encompass a large portion of East Coast-generated popular music, and damn near dominate it.
		The trademark of Raindrops singles would be Jeff and Ellie's wild scat-singing, which was used as a percussion instrument much like, say, a tambourine or a pair of maracas.
		Of course, if The Raindrops had never existed, they undoubtedly would have still been successful, but then, we wouldn't have had their wonderful Jubilee platters to enjoy, records which basically served as demos to some of their most popular and enduring songs.

	About Rainbows (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		A typical raindrop is spherical and therefore its effect on sunlight is symmetrical about an axis through the center of the drop and the source of light (in this case the sun).
		When the light paths through a raindrop are traced for red and blue light, one finds that the angle of deviation is different for the two colors because blue light is bent or refracted more than is the red light.
		Raindrops generally don't "grow" to radii larger than about 0.5 cm without breaking up because of collisions with other raindrops, although occasionally drops a few millimeters larger in radius have been observed when there are very few drops (and so few collisions between the drops) in a rainstorm.

	April Showers Bring Muddy Waters: The Sour and Power of Raindrops - Envirocast - the weather & watershed newsletter
		In order for a raindrop to form, a grain of dust or similarly-sized solid particle, known collectively as condensation nuclei, must first be present in the air.
		The big raindrops of a summer thunderstorm are about 5 millimeters in diameter and fall at a speed of more than 20 miles per hour.
		By contrast during a light drizzle, raindrops are less than one millimeter in diameter, and fall out of the sky at a leisurely rate of about 1.5 miles per hour.

		Their most visible work was in association with producer George "Shadow" Morton and the girl group the Shangri-Las ("Remember," "Leader of the Pack," "Out in the Streets"), especially, and Spector ("River Deep, Mountain High"), who was the only American producer who seemingly managed to bridge the gap between the two eras of pop music.

	How Raindrops Form \| Physical Review Focus
		Swirling winds inside clouds may be one of the keys to quick formation of raindrops.
		Raindrops begin forming when water vapor condenses on micrometer-sized particles of dust floating in the atmosphere.
		The wind, it was believed, increased the relative velocities of the micrometer-sized droplets and caused them to collide and stick together until they became large enough to begin falling.

	Seattle / Northwest Hip Hop, R&B, and the Urban Scene
		White and his favorite consultant (who happens to be his wife), Melissa collaborate on the image, branding and creative elements of the Seattle Raindrops company and decided that a quality mint that is locally produced could capture the taste buds and pleasant conversation of locals and tourists.
		Since Seattle Raindrops’ 2000 launch, the peppermint fresh mint has sold in stores from Seattle’s Bartell’s Drugs and QFC’s to high end hotels like the Hilton, Monaco, Crowne Plaza and Sea-Tac Airport’s Warren’s Gifts in Concourse B to the far reaches of the Southeast where Seattle Raindrops is now available at the Atlanta Marriott.

		Their demo was considered so good that the record company, Jubilee, decided to release it, and chose to credit it to "The Raindrops." The demo got to No. 41 on the charts, considered a respectable beginning in those days, especially for a non-existent group.

	Ancient raindrops reveal the origins of California's Sierra Nevada range
		The Stanford team obtained their results by conducting a chemical analysis of ancient raindrops unearthed in the Sierra during the California Gold Rush.
		Over time, some raindrops are incorporated into molecules of clay and other minerals that form on the ground.
		When Mulch compared ancient raindrops in the clays with modern precipitation samples, he discovered a remarkable similarity: In both cases, deuterium levels gradually decreased from the lowest-elevation collection site to the highest--a strong indication the topography of the Sierra had changed little since the Eocene epoch.

		Different sizes of raindrops produce dramatically different sounds as they hit water, primarily because some sizes of drops generate bubbles and others do not.
		It takes energy to evaporate liquid water and this energy is stored in water vapor as “latent heat.” The formation of raindrops releases latent heat, which is one of the primary sources of energy that drives atmospheric circulation.
