For a fixed volume, a sphere is the shape with the lowest surface area to volume ratio. Surface tension is minimized when the drop forms a sphere, and molecules always tend toward the position which minimizes energy.
A circular cover is the only shape that can fit the hole no matter which way you drop it, but can't possibly fall through the hole no matter which way you drop it.
It's not. Record drops falling in slow motion. You will see that when they gall, they actually do keep a "tear drop" shape.
Manhole covers are round because that is the only shape that will not fall in on itself. Having a round cover with a lip, there is no way the cover can fall or be forced into the hole it covers.
the surface tension of water is responsible for spherical shape of a drop.
No, they want to be round but get stretched into different shape as they fall by air resistance. Thus 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.

Rain drop travel towards earth because of gravity and get round shape because of drag force... sohail peshawar
cylindrical.a 2D shape that's roundIn the shape of a circle - round
Not all are round- but a round cover that fits a round hatch cannot fall through its own hole when it is tilted. A square or rectangle CAN fall through its own hole. Think about this- if you dropped the cover into a septic tank- would you REALLY want to have to go in there and find it? Round is good.
You shape skies round because the earth is round so the sky is round too.
its the shape of a circle!!
