The term tin roof is a bit of a misnomer. Most people that think of it are probably thinking of the soft metal, corrugated roofs that can last up to 60 years, but which don’t offer a lot in looks or style. In fact, this type of roof is actually known as terneplate roof, and it may be made of any soft metal that is coated in tin and lead.

Raindrops are usually represented in the shape of a teardrop, but this is not true in reality.

When raindrops first form high up in the atmosphere, they take on a spherical shape as the water molecules bind together held by surface tension.

As they begin to fall their shape changes, while air resistance causes the bottom of the drop to flatten and curve resembling the shape of a jelly bean.
