Here we describe a simple “take home” message about rainfall characteristics that you can perceive with your own body. It is only one possibility of what you can feel through the experiments.
Try to focus on the variety of sizes of drops on your skin. Indeed, raindrops do not all have the same size. The smallest that fall are typically of size 0.2 mm while the largest ones are of size 5 mm. Drops are not spherical while they fall, they are slightly oblate because of air friction. The size we give is the diameter of a sphere having the same volume as the drop.
