Why is a rain droplet shaped like a pear instead like a ball?

A raindrop would be sphere-shaped if it were floating in space or in the air, but because it does not float, but falls toward the Earth, the raindrop encounters resistance by the air. As the drop passes through the air, the relative motion of the air past the diameter of the spherical drop creates a slight vacuum at the top of the raindrop and that vacuum draws the top of the raindrop upward, creating the Why_are_raindrops_shaped_like_pear_instead_of_a_ballshape.

What are the benefits of a spherical car?

Well, the most aerodynamic shape is a teardrop/raindrop shape. You would think a spherical car (assuming you means completely spherical) would be very aerodynamic. But that is false. The exit of the wind passing over/under/around your car is as important as when the wind hits it initially. So a spherical rear end would be much worse that a tapered rear end.

How is a prism like a raindrop?

Raindrops are the cause of Rainbows. Light from the sun passes through the "front" of the raindrop. It hits the "back" of the raindrop which, because raindrops are spherical, acts like a curved mirror. At different points along this curve, the "beam" of incoming light is bent at slightly different angles depending on where it hits. This causes the "white" beam of light to spread out into its rainbow colours in a similar fashion to what you would see using a prism.
