For example, let’s say 2.5 cm of raindrops fell on an area of ​​20 m²; that would have filled 3.5 million barrels of 150 liters. So this is the case for 3.5 million people. enough to take a shower without turning on the water heater. means accumulated water. But when we talk about normal raindrops, we assume that these drops are 5 mm. Drops of this speed reach the Earth at a speed of 36 km per hour. Of course, smaller droplets will have a slower fall rate, and weather conditions are also a factor that changes this rate.

But have there ever been greater raindrops than this one? Of course it was seen. The raindrops in Brazil in 1995 and the Marshall Islands in 1999 were 0.85 cm each. Here we are now for you “What if it was?” We will talk about a very anomalous situation where you can say: what would happen to us if the raindrops turned into a single huge drop and rained on us like that?

This giant drop is estimated to have weighed hundreds of millions of pounds and would have been a mile wide. As they prepared to slowly descend from the sky, everyone would probably be afraid to hide in the safest place they could find.

While people are hiding in our hypothetical story, this giant raindrop falls to the ground at 322 km/h. When it falls to the ground, the outer surface turns into a spray-like shape. then drip It combines with the air and turns into foam.

If this drop were far from the earth, it would be blown by the wind millions it dripped. But if we look at the huge drop waiting for rain close to the surface to plunder the place, unfortunately the wind no longer has the strength to tear it to pieces.

If you saw the giant fall into the sky, he could probably hit the ground after 10 seconds. The speed of the water at the time of impact is 724 km/h… As you can see, this is normal. rain is almost 20 times greater than the precipitation rate.

First the grass on the ground starts to catch fire before the giant drop falls to the surface as ‘dann’…

This is because the speed at which the air is pulled away from under the drop is less than the speed at which the drop falls to the ground. It also causes the compression force to overheat the air. But there is nothing to worry about because this giant drop that has already fallen from the sky, the flaming grass extinguishes in the twinkling of an eye.

Also, the land where the body of water fell would suddenly explode in the sky, like those explosion scenes you watch in action movies. Yet the underground rock was undamaged and the water would spread, hitting everything.

You can think of this spread of water as a flood, but the floods you’ve seen or watched on the news so far are next to what we’re talking about. would never stay.

A view from the UK floods – 2007

In the United Kingdom, for example, it rains every year, with a total area of ​​291 cubic meters. That the UK can channel this rainwater is almost less than the volume of lakes and reservoirs. This is 4 times more.

Therefore, there are always problems such as flooding. For example, we are talking about with huge raindrops If they had met, the land would have been looted.

Going back to our subject, the flooding caused by these massive bodies of water can spread for miles, destroying all settlements, dragging the ground with them. And that’s all that’s left of the mainland, mud bath It gives you areas where you can do it.

Oh, and this flood continues non-stop at 32 miles per hour to every city or country it can travel to. would destroy them all.

At best, some of these floodwaters fill lakes and rivers; the rest flowed into towns and settlements. Indigenous people are probably ‘Suddenly interesting flood’ He would give an interview in the news that came up with the title.

You know, they say we got into the hail while escaping the rain. Well, what if? What happens if you can’t escape this huge drop and stand right under it?

If the entire circumference of the drop is in proportion to each other, i.e. symmetrical, the water only falls around your body. However, this is you will not be flooded does not mean.

The falling water would literally form a huge sea and you would most likely feel a mile of pressure (as we said at the beginning, the width of the raindrop can be at this rate). holding your breath you should.

Movie: The Passengers (2016)

This pressure is already up to 155 spheres (unit expressing atmospheric pressure at sea level and normal weather conditions) equal. That’s 155 times the pressure felt at sea level. Do you think you can survive in such a situation?

Because studies show that the maximum pressure a person can withstand. 71 spheres it says so much. Well, sure, let alone survive in this situation, it would be a miracle if you survived even if a giant drop fell on you.

Even if you were standing next to the giant water drop, not directly below it. nothing would change. You ask why? Because this water, coming at a tremendous speed, would hit you and throw you from place to place.

Let’s say you’re still alive and looking for a way out. Then in this puddle you would go for a swim and you would try to land.

For this you had to be able to hold your breath sufficiently and your lungs had to withstand this pace. Meanwhile you’re having a hard time, from filling your eardrums with pressure to bursting you could understand.

This is caused by the air resistance of the body. It is a response to a pressure increase. In short, trying to live in this situation is a waste of time. In all probability it ends in the village of wood.

To those who say they are afraid of even a simple rain if you tell them:

So let’s talk about the formation of rain for a moment. Have you ever heard of ghost rain? This happens as a result of evaporation of raindrops as they approach the Earth’s surface. That is, experiencing it yourself, which is not much of our concern. a harmless natural phenomenon You can see it like this

Raindrops, for example, are also contrary to what most people think. It’s not like a tear. The shapes of raindrops formed in the atmosphere are essentially spherical, that is, round. When the drop begins to fall from the sky, it only takes on a teardrop-like state due to air resistance.

Also, rain turns into snow first because clouds are made of flat crystals and icy water. Rainwater clings to ice crystals and forms ice balls. falls to the ground in the form of snow.

When these snowflakes approach the surface of the warmer world, they melt and turn into rain. As you can see, the occurrence is a pretty normal natural phenomenon. not scary at all.

Fortunately the huge raindrop we talked about in the content something we will never see. If such a disaster had happened to us, even science would not be able to explain it. So what do you think? What would you do if you encountered a huge raindrop? Share your thoughts with us.
