Contrary to popular belief, raindrops are not the teardrop shape we all see in graphics. As the water falls through the atmosphere air resistance allows the drop to form a bag-like shape. The bag "pops" and the smaller dropplets collide with others to go through the same process. This allows for raindrops to be different sizes as they reach the ground. Lucky for us though, no rain is in our forecast!
