hydrometeors
Any condensed form of water--larger than a single water molecule--that is falling or suspended in the atmosphere; some examples of hydrometeors are snow, fog, cloud or rain. When these particles reach the size of 10-20 micrometers, available water is depleted and a stable cloud is formed.
