    . A rain drop falling in a vacuum assumes a spherical shape, since this is the geometrical shape that minimizes surface area and, therefore, surface energy. A rain drop falling through the atmosphere would do the same thing, except that an external drag force constrains it from doing so. For this reason, it has a "tear-drop" shape.
