Question

Why does a freely falling drop of water is spherical in shape

Answer 1

Hey mate here's your answer

Ans. Raindrops take up the spherical shape due to the surface tension of water which is caused due to the   tendency  of water molecules to stick together. The spherical shape is having the least possible surface area due to which it can resist any of the external force in the atmosphere.Hence a freely falling drop of water is spherical in shape.
