Question

Why the water dropletts r round in shape which falls from the sky during rain fall?

Answer 1

as you all know, water evaporates, condenses and then precipitates.

     water needs a medium to precipitate and it uses the dust particles present in the air to do so.

     the water gets collected[?] around the dust particle, and due to the surface tension - they get their spherical shape.

Answer 2

surface tension..

btw this is not a geography question..sh'ld hav been posted under Science -> Physics.

Answer 3

As far as I know this is because in such form (sphere) they have the smallest volume, compared to other objects with same dimensions!!!.

Answer 4

Due to surface tension between ground and drop it tends to occupy least surface area and hence is spherical

Answer 5

water dropletts are round in shape because of gravitational force.
