In the above equation, when the radius (in the denominator) of droplet decreases, the overall right hand side fraction will increase. Therefore, the value of natural log (
The vapour pressure of the initial droplet is very large during the condensation and the formation of raindrop. This leads to the increase in the rate of evaporation and makes the formation of droplet difficult. Therefore, the formation of droplets will be very slow.
