Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

If there wasn't an atmosphere to provide resistance, there wouldn't be water vapor suspended in it, there wouldn't be dust particles suspended in it to provide places for condensation to happen.
With no air resistance, there wouldn't be rain in the first place.
I took the liberty of assuming there is air, it just doesn’t “move” or impede the process of evaporation.
You can evaporate water in a vacuum, so you could have an atmosphere with no other gasses than water and still get rain. The process of condensation should still work. I think the concept of air gets weird though…
