Raindrops have the shape of a sphere or ball, but flattened on the leading edge by the airflow around it.

Larger drops show a greater flattening, assuming the shape of the "top of a hamburger bun" - flatter on the bottom and domed above. At around 4 mm in diameter, the drop will normally flatten too far and split into two drops.

Raindrops are Round...At First.Raindrops start out as round high in the atmosphere as water collects on dust and smoke particles in clouds. But as raindrops fall, they lose their rounded shape. Instead, a raindrop is more like the top half of a hamburger bun. Flattened on the bottom and with a curved dome top, raindrops are anything but the classic tear shape. The reason is due to their speed falling through the atmosphere
