Why are rain drops spherical?
Due to the hydrogen bonds that are attracted to one another. This attraction pulls the molecules together and forms the shape.
Why does water become spherical when thrown in air?
Water droplet is spherical when water is thrown in air because of surface tension in water molecules which forces it to assume the smallest shape possible.
Why liquids drops are spherical?
If the drop is small enough, it is a perfect sphere. A sphere is the geometrical shape thathas the smallest surface area for its volume. The drop takes this shape because watermolecules tend to stick to each other. So, when not confined by a container, and withnothing around it to distort its shape, a very tiny water drop is perfectly round like aball because the water molecules are pulling inward toward each other.
Why is a raindrop in spherical shape?
because water molecules interact as magnets check for "cohesive attraction" on internet
Why does water form a spherical shape wax paper instead of spreading out flat?
Surface tension attracts water molecules inward.
Why would water form nearly spherical drops onboard the space shuttle or an orbiting space station?
Its surface tension hold it in a logical shape (why is a bubble spherical?)
How do you prove that every water droplet is or isn't the same size or shape?
All you need is two drops that are not the same shape to prove they are not the same. Compare drops of water dripping from a tap (faucet) which is elongated, and one in zero gravity, is spherical.
What has a shape of a sphere?
In the nature the small water droplets falling in the form of rain are spherical.
What are the example of surface tension?
the spherical water drops of a flower.
Why are rain drops spherical?

Why does a small water droplet in the air remain spherical?
It is held in a spherical shape by the surface tension of the water/air boundary which forces the droplet to assume the smallest surface area possible (which is a sphere).

Why falling drop of liquid is spherical?
Yes it is. Surface tension caused by hydrogen bonding within the water is the reason. Hydrogen bonding is caused by the strong polar nature of the water molecule. It's polarity means the positive end of one molecule is attracted to the negative end of another molecule.
Why does water become spherical when thrown in air?
Water droplet is spherical when water is thrown in air because of surface tension in water molecules which forces it to assume the smallest shape possible.
What property of water molecules give them the round like shape on a leaf?
the surface tension of water is responsible for spherical shape of a drop.
What is the state of water at zero pascal?
It's still a liquid but it will have a spherical shape.
What will be the motion of water in the tank when small hole is created at the bottom?
The motion of water will be spherical.
