Rain's Dirty Little Secret
To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords:
Condensation: the process of water molecules glomming together into visible droplets
Condensation nuclei: tiny solid particles that water vapor condenses onto (also called aerosols)
Homogeneous condensation: condensation without any kind of condensation nuclei
Dew point: the temperature below which water vapor starts to condense into droplets
Heterogeneous condensation: condensation that happens with the help of condensation nuclei
Critical Embryo: a cluster of water molecules big enough to easily gain more molecules
Cloud chamber: a cool thing to check out if you want to build a particle detector at home (it involves pumping a bunch of water vapor into pure air; when a particle passes through, it leaves a streak of ionized water molecules that, in super-saturated air, can act as condensation nuclei!)

From the creators of the popular science show with millions of YouTube subscribers comes the MinuteEarth podcast. Every episode of the show dives deep into a science question you might not even know you had - but once you hear the answer, you’ll want to share it with everyone you know. Our team of scientists digs into the research and breaks it down into a short, entertaining explanation jam-packed with science facts and terrible puns. We’ll tell the incredible story of how monkeys crossed the Atlantic ocean on natural rafts, and we’ll explain why it gets hotter the deeper you dig underground.
