How fast does a raindrop travel?
Depending on the size of the raindrop and the wind speed, updrafts, downdrafts a raindrop can fall at the speed of light. The previous answer was obviously written by an idiot. A raindrop will fall at usually 3 to 8 metres/second. A raindrop will never ever be able to travel at the speed of light.
What is the answer for the question rise and fall of water caused by friction of wind on water surface?

Why mosquito float on the surface of water?
Due to the property of surface tension water surface would act as a stretched membrane. So water skaters, mosquitoes could easily walk on the surface. If oil is mixed with water then surface tension would fall and mosquito cannot breed. That is why we sprinkle oil in fine droplets on stagnant water
Why the rain drop spherical in shape?
the force of attraction between the molecules of water is higher then gases but lesser than solids.usually it spreads along the container in which water is kept,but during free fall as it occurs to rain drop,the forces tend to exert a combined effort to pull up to a shape which has smallest surface to volume ratio for a specific volume and that shape is our well known SPHERE!!!!zeeshan khakwaniEdit!Question - What shape is a water drop?----------------------Mary,If the drop is small enough, it is a perfect sphere. A sphere is the geometrical shape that has the smallest surface area for its volume. The drop takes this shape because water molecules tend to stick to each other [because of there polar covalent bonds]. So, when not confined by a container, and with nothing around it to distort its shape, a very tiny water drop is perfectly round like a ball because the water molecules are pulling inward toward each other.If the drop is larger like a raindrop in free-fall, it has a domed top and a semi-flattenedbottom because as it falls it must push the air out of its way. That "upward" push of theair being displaced causes the falling drop to have a rather flattened bottom.Contrary to popular misconception, a free-falling raindrop is not shaped like a teardrop --round on the bottom and pointy on top.Regards,ProfHoff 722Answer:water(liquid ) property Surface Tension . Surface tension is a property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force.The only possible shape is spherical That can be resist the external force means forces all acting on outer side of the droplet that equals to the sum of all forces that binds together the droplet is leads to acquire the spherical shape.Bychandu.raf@gmail.com
Why does the front wind screen of a moving car get wet when rain is falling vertically downward?
-- A raindrop takes some time to fall through a distance equal to the height of the windscreen. -- In that length of time, the car moves some distance forward. -- Any raindrop that is directly in front of the windscreen, but nearer to it than the distance the car will move before the raindrop falls past the bottom of the windscreen, will splat against the windscreen as its fall is interrupted.
Does rain drop fall with constant velocity?
No it does not, as a raindrop falls to earth it will gradually slow due to the changing terminal velocity. As a raindrop falls, water will evaporate from it causing the mass to decrease faster than the size and surface area. this will leave the raindrop with a higher surface area to mass ratio. Since air resistance is related to surface area and mass, the smaller raindrop will have more air resistance for its mass and will fall slower.
