The rain drops are spherical in shape due to

Question

The rain drops are spherical in shape due to (A) thrust on drop (B) surface tension (C) viscosity (D) residual pressure

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Because of surface tension, a liquid surface tends to have the minimum area possible. And as for a given volume the surface of a sphere has got the minimum area, the rain drops take a spherical shape.
