Question

Why are drops and bubbles spherical

Answer 1

Drops &bubbles are spherical because of surface tension &gravity

Answer 2

Answer:

• Drops and bubbles are spherical in shape because the liquid surface tends to have the minimum possible surface area due to surface tension.
• The surface of a sphere has the smallest area.
• Surface tension is the tendency of fluid surfaces to contract to the minimum possible surface area.
• Surface tension is the tension of the surface film of a liquid caused by the attraction of particles in the surface layer by the volume of the liquid, which tends to minimize the surface area
• The attraction of the molecules, called surface tension, pulls the soap bubble to the smallest possible surface area. At the same time, the air inside the soap bubble pushes against it. A bubble forms into a sphere because it can contain the largest content with the smallest circumference.
