rain drop is spherical since the surface tension of sphere is less when compared to other shapes.

they both create rainbows because of their spherical shape


Why is a raindrop in spherical shape?

A raindrop is in a spherical shape due to surface tension. Surface tension causes water molecules to cling together, minimizing their surface area and taking on a spherical shape, which is the most efficient shape that minimizes surface energy.


What is the center of each raindrop?

In a raindrop, the center is essentially the point where surface tension forces pull the water molecules inwards, creating a spherical shape. This center is not a physical point but rather a cohesive force that holds the water droplet together.


Why are raindrops shaped like pear instead of 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 pear shape.

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.

Why does the raindrop fall on the water surface is round?

Raindrops are round when they hit water due to surface tension. Surface tension causes the water molecules to stick together and minimizes their surface area, which naturally forms a round shape. This spherical shape allows the raindrop to maintain equilibrium and stability on the water surface.
