No raindrop can exceed its terminal velocity. Or so scientists thought. After studying 64,000 individual raindrops over three years at the Mexico campus, the researchers found something different.

Once they begin to fall, they reach what is called terminal velocity on the way down. Take a guess at how far a raindrop falls in one second. The answer is below.
