Summary

Description
English: Different sizes of raindrops:
  • 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.
Español: Tamaños de gotas de agua:
  • A) En realidad, las gotas no tienen la forma 'cultural' de lágrima, como mucha gente cree.
  • B) Las gotas muy pequeñas son casi esféricas.
  • C) Las gotas más grandes se aplastan en la parte inferior por la resistencia del aire y tienen la apariencia de un pan de hamburguesa.
  • D) Las gotas grandes tienen una gran cantidad de resistencia de aire, lo que hace que empiecen a ser inestables.
  • E) Las gotas muy grandes se dividen por la resistencia del aire.
Français : Tailles de gouttes d'eau :
  • A) En réalité, les gouttes d'eau n'ont pas la forme 'culturel'.
  • B) Les gouttes très petites sont presque sphériques.
  • C) Le dessous des gouttes plus grandes s'aplatit par la résistance de l'air, et donne l'apparence d'un petit pain de hamburger.
  • D) Les grandes gouttes ont beaucoup de résistance à l'air, ce qui les rend instables.
  • E) Les gouttes très grandes sont divisées par la résistance de l'air.
Deutsch: Wassertropfen in verschiedenen Größen:
  • A) Wassertropfen haben in Wirklichkeit nicht diese Form.
  • B) Sehr kleine Wassertropfen sind annähernd kugelförmig.
  • C) Größere Wassertropfen sind auf der Unterseite abgeflacht aufgrund des Luftwiderstands.
  • D) Große Wassertropfen erfahren so viel Luftwiderstand, dass sie instabil werden.
  • E) Sehr große Wassertropfen werden durch den Luftwiderstand in mehrere, kleinere Tropfen aufgeteilt.
中文：不同尺寸的雨滴:
  • A) 雨滴并非多数人所想像的泪滴状。
  • B) 很小的雨滴近乎球状。
  • C) 由于空气阻力，大点的雨滴底部会稍微变平成汉堡圆面包状。
  • D) 大雨滴受到大量空气阻力影响，使其形状不稳定。
  • E) 非常大的雨滴将会由于空气阻力分裂为多个小雨滴。
日本語: 雨粒の形状
  • A）雨粒はティアドロップ形ではありません。
  • B）雨粒が小さい場合はほぼ球形である。
  • CDF）これより大きくなると、表面張力が小さくなる代わりに空気抵抗が増し、雨粒の底面が平らなまんじゅうのような形状となるうえ、落下時に振動し始めて不安定となり、分裂しやすくなる。
