Solution

  1. According to the universal law of gravitation, every object in the universe attracts other objects with a force, whose magnitude is directly proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (R) between them.
  2. Due to the gravitational force exerted by the earth, the raindrops and snow get attracted and fall on the surface of the earth, because they have mass.
  3. Hence, the law of gravitation can explain the falling of raindrops and snowfall.
