Walking, you are in the rain for a longer amount of time...also probably depends on distance you are traveling and weather conditions.

Thanatos likely meant 'heavier', meaning, rain is hitting you more frequently, and not literally 'harder'.
Regardless, aside from any odd weather condition, I'd imagine the difference of whether you get wetter or not depends on if you are moving at a speed faster or slower than the rate at which the rain is falling. |
So you'd have to be going fast enough to not get soaked, but slow enough to not get....soaked?
If you're walking uber slow (yes, I said it) then you're gonna get completely drenched. And if you're walking extremely fast, you're going to hit more droplets then intended also. So their must be a mathmatical equation to figure this out... ....Where's MJ? |
Well, it was raining outside yesterday, so I decided to walk and run. I still got wet.
|
NO FUCKIN WAY! >.>
This is just getting crazier and crazier! |
Then someone kept flashing their camera at me, so I got scared and rolled around in the mud.
I still got wet! |
Wait, but if you run, you can get under some type of cover rather than if you take your time and walk while you get drenched.

O rly?

I just thought about it and figured it out.
Assuming you can't get under cover and are on a totally flat plane, and can not escape the area under the rain, and the rain is evenly dispersed, you will be hit by the same amount of droplets, regardless wether you are moving fast or slow. |
I'd say a nice job is where it's at.

Does hail travel faster than rain when coming down from the clouds? Rail is lighter, but hail could have the effect of gravity on it more...
|
You fail at physics.

Yes, hail will drop faster, but not due to it being accelerated faster by gravity. The force on anything near the Earth's surface due to gravity will cause it to accelerate at -9.8 m/s/s. However, air resistance will slow down the water droplets more than hail. |
I have physics honors next year, so I haven't failed yet...
|
hail sucks. it hurts alot more than rain does
