Raindrops on Exoplanets Remain Similar to Those on Earth, Harvard Researchers Discover | News
A pair of Harvard researchers discovered that falling raindrops on other planets remain similar in size and behavior despite widely different atmospheric conditions, according to a study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets last month. Kaitlyn âKaitâ Loftus, a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate in Earth and Planetary Sciences, and environmental science professor Robin D. Wordsworth used computer models to study raindrop shape, falling speed, and evaporation speed, ultimately determining that raindrop size is relatively constant across disparate planetary environments. ...
