According to the study by Philipp Lenard in 1898,
the small raindrops (< 2 mm diameter)
are approximately
spherical.

During falling, rain drops take on shapes with flattened bases and rounded
tops. Thus, they like falling
hamburger buns than teardrops.

When raindrops are falling, they crashes other
raindrops.

Hence, the collision causes
distortions in the drops' shapes.

Also, it causes drops to merge, and then form a larger
drop.

Do you think the drops can keep
the shape of larger
hamburger buns during falling?

If size of drop is less than 5mm, the drop can
keep the shape like hamburger
bun.
If size of drop is greaterthan 5mm, the force of air
breaks the surface tension of drop.
Thus, the drop is broken into the smaller drops like
hamburger bun again!
Such phenomenon continues until the drop has fallen
on the ground.
