What happens to the size of the drops of fat in milk when milk is homogenized?

Its gonna get smaller because in fresh milk there is cream at the top and when milk is homogenized it blends together wich makes it smaller.
Fat droplets are forced through small openings at high pressure during homogenisation. This makes the droplets smaller, of the same size and evenly distributed in the milk. Because of this the droplets will take much longer to aggregate and float to the top of the milk.

What is whole milk also called?
Milk sold as whole milk has been processed to reduce the fat to 3-1/4 percent. The milk is then homogenized by forcing it through small nozzles that reduce the fat globules to such a small size that they remain evenly spread throughout the milk. The homogenized whole milk is then pasturized by heating it to a high enough temperature to destroy any harmful bacteria, and then cooled and packaged for sale.
Are uht milk and homogenized milk same thing?
UHT milk will always be homogenised, but homogenised milk is not always UHT treated. UHT is a heat treatment applied to kill spoilage organisms and extend shelflife. Homogenisation is a process of breaking up large globules of butterfat into many smaller pieces of equal size. This prevents the butterfat from settling out of the milk and creating a cream layer on top of the milk.
Is milk mixture solution or both?
Technically, milk is an emulsion: a suspension of fat globules in an aqueous solution. Un-homogenized milk will allow the fat to float and form a cream layer at the top after standing, but homogenized milk has been forced through extremely small openings under extreme pressure, which breaks the fat globules into a very small size, and these do not recombine, or float to the top. (So everyone has their share of the "cream" component.The part of the milk that is NOT butterfat is termed SNF (solids-not-fat), and this solution contains the mineral salts, milk sugar (lactose), casein (the protein), as well as trace elements and vitamins.
How many drops in a gallon of milk?
Wikipedia says that a metric drop of a fluid is 1/20 mL, which is 1/20000 L. In one gallon, there are 3.7854 L. So by dividing the 3.7854 L by the 1/20000 L of a drop, the result gives 75,708 drops. This can change as there are different size drops.
