Köhler equation
A relationship between the radius of a cloud droplet grown on a hygroscopic nucleus of a given dry mass, which decreases the vapor pressure with respect to a flat surface, and the radius of curvature of the drop, which increases the vapor pressure with respect to a flat surface and the equilibrium relative humidity.
