If the drop is small enough, it is a perfect sphere. A sphere is the geometrical shape that has the smallest surface area for its volume. The drop takes this shape because water molecules are pulling inward toward each other, and tend to stick to each other. So when not confined by a container and with nothing around it to distort its shape a very tiny water drop is perfectly round like a ball.
If the drop is larger like a raindrop, it has domed top and semi- flattened bottom because as it falls, it must push the air out of its way. It is that upward push of the air being displaced that causes the falling drop to have a rather flattened bottom, so that it looks like a tear drop.
the bits of water piles up. this makes the dome shapes
it is lens in shape
the surface tension of water is responsible for spherical shape of a drop.
Density is an intrinsic property, and as such it does not depend on the size of the object. A drop of water will have a density of 1g/ml whether it is a big drop, or a very small drop.
The water drop goes stright down, but it gets slightly squashed during the way down, like a hamburger shape.
The surface tension of the water and the fact that oil and water cannot wet each other.
it is lens in shape
The common conception of the water drop shape is the shape a liquid like water takes when it's dangling from a surface, like a droplet hanging from a tap. Raindrops in the air usually have a spherical shape.
A drop is a drop.Example? A drop of water is exactly like a drop of melted lead.Answer?No.

No, the drop of Isopropyl Alcohol was in perfect circle whereas the water drops were circular but with lumpy edges.

If the drop is small enough, it is a perfect sphere. A sphere is the geometrical shape thathas the smallest surface area for its volume. The drop takes this shape because watermolecules tend to stick to each other. So, when not confined by a container, and withnothing around it to distort its shape, a very tiny water drop is perfectly round like aball because the water molecules are pulling inward toward each other.
there is a heart, fire, question mark, science logo, leaf, star, dirt, water drop, dew drop, moon shape, and diamond shape essencce on My sims kingdom.

Cohesive forces in given case are greater than adhesive forces. So water molecules form spherical shape. This behavior is more prominent in mercury.
