What is the pull on the surface of liquids to form drops when they fall?
Surface tension
Why does rain drops but snow fall?
rain is just falling to everyone says it falls but it drops
What is a definition of rain?
Drops of water that fall from clouds.
Why does the balloon doesn't float when rain fall?
The rain drops stick to the balloon due to surface tension & it quickly becomes too heavy for the helium to float it. water is heavier than we give it credit for...
Why the rain drops are spherical?
Rain drops are not spherical. They are more "tear-drop" shaped, elongated in the direction in which they fall, as the result of air resistance .

It is surface tension.
Why water drops that fall on a surface tend to form rounded drops or beads?
The inherent property of any substance is to aggregate together, which is caused by Van der Waals' forces. These forces cause the molecules to be held together and create surface tension, in the case of liquids. When you drop water onto a surface, the water molecules adhere together due to holding those forces and try to come closer. Geometrically, a sphere has the greatest surface area to volume ratio, which is also the most stable shape for liquids to conform into. Thus, you get rounded drops or beads.
A leak in the roof allows 2 drops through the first day 4 drops through on the second day 8 drops the third etc When will the 500th drop fall?
On the 8th day.
Why does liquid fall as drops?
The molecules are more attracted to each other than to the surrounding air.

Water drops that fall when the temperature is below freezing, fall as SNOW . Water drops that fall when the temperature is above freezing fall as RAIN .
What has the shape of its own?
when a liquid is placed in a container it takes the shape of the container. raindrops and teardrops are a shape that liquids have when you use a dropper, when drops of water fall from a faucet
How does the amount of weight put on the body of the paper helicopter change how fast it drops?
it doesnt. it may affect how fast it lifts off, but not how fast it drops. now, if you had said weight put inside the body of a helecopter, then it would have made a difference because of the relationship between surface area and mass. if you have alot of surface area and alittle mass, then you fall slowly, if you have alittle surface area and alot of mass, then you fall quickly. in the same way, if you have alot of surface area and alot of mass, then you would fall at the same speed as somethign with a little mass and a little surface area.
What are drip tips?
Drip tip leaves are specially adapted leaves that are commonly know to grow on plants in the rainforest. They have a curved, and bent down surface, which allows the rain to fall and tickle down the leaf. The rain then drops off, aiming at the plants roots, which then suck it in and use it as nutrients.
