    Question

    Which physical property causes raindrops to form

    spherical shapes?
    A Friction Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Viscosity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Surface tension Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Elasticity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The spherical shape of raindrops is primarily due to surface tension. This physical property causes the surface of a liquid to behave like a stretched elastic membrane, minimizing the surface area for a given volume, hence forming a sphere.
