How does a drop of water get its shape?

The Drop takes spherical shape because water molecules are pulling inward toward each other and tend to stick to each other.
So, when with nothing around it to distort its shape a very tiny water drop is perfectly round. If the Drop is larger like a raindrop, it has a domed top and a semi flat bottom, because as it falls it must push the air out of its way. This upward push of the ear causes the following drop to have a rather flat bottom, similaring to tear drop.
