A core is necessary for water vapor to condense, and the most effective condensation nuclei that form the core of raindrops are giant sea salt nuclei with a radius of 1 μm or more (there are several per cm3 in the atmosphere, especially in coastal areas). These nuclei absorb water vapor easily, so for example, a nucleus with a radius of 1 μm in a dry state with a humidity of 78% (the main component of sea salt nuclei is NaCl) has already grown to a radius of about 2 μm. …
