Due to surface tension

Meghna Thapar 5 years, 6 months ago

Falling drop of a liquid is always spherical in shape due to surface tension. The inward forces on the surface molecules of the liquid droplet tend to cause the surface to volume ratio as small as possible. Liquid drops are spherical because of surface tension. Hence when small amount of liquid is separated from rest in the form of drop, the whole amount of liquid gets in the most energy efficient shape i.e. sphere due to the attraction of atoms/molecules, which we call surface tension.
