droplet
A small spherical particle of any liquid; in meteorology, particularly a water droplet. There is no defined size limit separating droplets from drops of water, but it is sometimes convenient to denote two disparate size ranges, such as the oft-used distinction of liquid cloud particles (droplets) from liquid precipitation (drops), thereby implying that a maximum diameter of 0. 2 mm (0. 008 in. ) is the limit for droplets. See cloud droplet, drizzle drop, drop, raindrop.
