New York, April 6 : The size of raindrops can help identify potentially habitable planets outside our solar system, according to a new research.
The study led by researchers from Harvard University in Massachusetts, US, found that raindrops are remarkably similar across different planetary environments, even planets as drastically different as Earth and Jupiter.
Understanding the behaviour of raindrops on other planets is key to not only revealing the ancient climate on planets like Mars but also identifying potentially habitable planets outside our solar system.

One day, humankind may step foot on another habitable planet. That planet may look very different from Earth, but one thing will feel familiar the rain.
In a recent paper, Harvard researchers found that raindrops are remarkably similar across different planetary environments, even planets as drastically different as Earth and Jupiter. Understanding the behavior of raindrops on other planets is key to not only revealing the ancient climate on planets like Mars but identifying potentially habitable planets outside our solar system.
Try as she might, Toyin Shodiya (MS/MBA: Engineering Sciences 2022) was just not interested in biology.
As a high school student living in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., her lack of interest in the subject did not go unnoticed by her AP biology teacher.
“One day after class, she pulled me aside and told me she’d noticed I seemed to be much more passionate about my AP physics course than I was about biology,” Shodiya said. “She told me her friend over at the NASA Goddard (Space Flight) Center had let her know about an internship opportunity there.”
