Raindrops have the shape of a sphere or ball, but flattened on the leading edge by the airflow around it.
Larger drops show a greater flattening, assuming the shape of the "top of a hamburger bun" - flatter on the bottom and domed above. At around 4 mm in diameter, the drop will normally flatten too far and split into two drops.

What type of force acts on a raindrop to reduce its speed?
Air resistance. The viscosity (resistance to flow) of the atmosphere slow down falling raindrops.
Why would you say coriolis force is very important to earth?
because if we didnt have a force when we look to the ground it would look like we falling
Why don't raindrops kill you when they fall from such high altitudes?
Raindrops don't generally hurt us having fallen all that way because they don't gain enough kinetic energy to do so. They do reach terminal velocity, and can even be pushed by downdrafts, but there's something else going on. A raindrop falling in air experiences deformation as it falls, and this changes its aerodynamics to prevent it from falling faster. The drop actually "flattens" somewhat as it falls toward a target below. Air resistance has "saved" us by deforming the droplet and limiting the amount of energy it can gain through its freefall.
Who sang raindrops so many raindrops falling from my eye eye?
Dj Raindrops
what does this personification mean-the falling raindrops are dancers?
This means that the raindrops are being described as if they are dancing, possibly suggesting a graceful or elegant movement as they fall from the sky. This personification adds a vivid and imaginative quality to the raindrops' descent.
What does an acid rain cloud look like?
Just the same as ordinary clouds. It's when the individual raindrops are falling that they absorb the sulfur and other gases from factory and vehicle pollution.
What are falling raindrops shaped like?
Raindrops are Round...At First.Raindrops start out as round high in the atmosphere as water collects on dust and smoke particles in clouds. But as raindrops fall, they lose their rounded shape. Instead, a raindrop is more like the top half of a hamburger bun. Flattened on the bottom and with a curved dome top, raindrops are anything but the classic tear shape. The reason is due to their speed falling through the atmosphere

Do raindrops bounce?
If they are falling hard enough, yes. They splash
Do raindrops have feelings?
yes holy cow im falling
Who sang raindrops falling from your eyes eyes?
The song is actually called 'Raindrops", and it's sung by Dee Clark.
What are the resulting units in the velocity equation for falling raindrops?
m/s
How do we know when acid rain is falling?
If there is a acid rain,the raindrops will be in yellow colour.

A 1990s group sang raindrops but its not the raindrop falling on my head?
Basement Jaxx (a group formed in 1994) released a song called Raindrops in 2009.
