  1. Although there are other factors that effect the formation of rain drop assuming they had an atmosphere very similar to our own but had a much grater gravity the rain drops would be smaller having to attain  smaller size before drawn towards the ground by gravity.


  2. the first person has it correct

    on a smaller planet the drops would be much larger

    interesting side not gravity can also affect things such as the height of mountains and volcanoes
