This is how it rains on other planets

Rain on the ground. But this is most different in the universe. And Science Alert says that carbon dioxide falls on the surface of Mars, it rains methane on Titan and sulfuric acid on Venus, and diamonds could rain on Neptune.

The types of matter that fall from the sky vary in almost the same way as the planets themselves. But new research led by Caitlin Loftus of Harvard University concludes that no matter how different the ejaculate material is, the droplet size is roughly the same everywhere.

There are two explanations for this: very small droplets evaporate before they reach the ground and very large droplets dissolve into smaller droplets. Even on a larger planet, there isn’t much difference in the size of the droplets. Rain on Jupiter or Saturn is roughly the same shape and size as rain on Earth or Mars. The substance from which the precipitate is made has no effect on droplet size.

For example, methane rains on Titan. The largest methane droplets are twice the size of the average raindrop on Earth, even though there are very large differences in gravitational or precipitation patterns.
