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.
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.
Raindrops are spherical due to surface tension. Surface tension causes water molecules to be attracted to each other, pulling them into a shape with the smallest surface area, which is a sphere. This shape allows raindrops to travel through the air more efficiently.
The average speed of a raindrop falling is around 8-10 miles per hour. However, this speed can vary depending on the size and shape of the raindrop.
Small water drops are spherical in shape due to surface tension. Surface tension is a property of liquids that causes them to minimize their surface area, resulting in a spherical shape for small droplets as it is the shape that has the lowest surface area. This is why small water drops tend to form perfect spherical shapes.
they both create rainbows because of their spherical shape

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.
No, they want to be round but get stretched into different shape as they fall by air resistance. Thus raindrops actually do not keep their shape, and they are also not tear-dropped shape. A raindrop starts as a rounded or spherical shape. As it falls down it will eventually lose its shape. It changes shape due to surface tension, speed, and the pressure of the air. Raindrops tend to end up a spherical drop of water.

A sphere, actually a sphere is wrong, its more of a teardrop shape....
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.
Raindrops are spherical due to surface tension. Surface tension causes the water molecules on the surface of the drop to attract each other, minimizing the surface area and forming a spherical shape, which is the most efficient way to contain the water molecules.

They are not spherical
A perfect sphere when it is samll... not a tear drop shape. When it gets larger it flattens on the bottom and even develops an indent at a point. Refer to the related link in the Related Links section below.
