Raindrops actually do not keep their shape, and they are also not tear-dropped shape. A raindrop starts as a rounded or spherical shape. As it falls down it will eventually lose its shape. It changes shape due to surface tension, speed, and the pressure of the air. Raindrops tend to end up a spherical drop of water.
