Right? Based on meteorology's assumptions clouds should drop out of the sky like bricks. Right? But they don't.

How about this: weight does not have that much of an effect on the downward or upward movement of parcels of air. Right?

The Moon makes it rain.. the moon makes oceans. You need to look at the Moon like a particle.. this particle has it's function.
