  • A) Raindrops are not tear-shaped, as most people think.
  • B) Very small raindrops are almost spherical in shape.
  • C) Larger raindrops become flattened at the bottom, like that of a hamburger bun, due to air resistance.
  • D) Large raindrops have a large amount of air resistance, which makes them begin to become unstable.
  • E) Very large raindrops split into smaller raindrops due to air resistance.
