| drop |
A drop is a small volume of liquid, bounded completely or almost completely by free surfaces. The simplest way to form a drop is to allow liquid to flow slowly from the lower end of a vertical tube of small diameter. When the pendant drop exceeds a certain size it is no longer stable and detaches itself. Drops may also be formed by the condensation of a supercooled vapor or by atomization of a larger mass of liquid. ...

| drop |
Liquid particle, with shape maintained as a balance between surface tension and air drag when falling at terminal velocity under gravity in the atmosphere; drops less than 1 mm (0.04 in.) are approximately spherical. The shape may also be influenced by ambient electric field or thunderstorm strength.

| droplet |
A small spherical particle of any liquid; in meteorology, particularly a water droplet. There is no defined size limit separating droplets from drops of water, but it is sometimes convenient to denote two disparate size ranges, such as the oft-used distinction of liquid cloud particles (droplets) from liquid precipitation (drops), thereby implying that a maximum diameter of 0.2 mm (0.008 in.) is the limit for droplets. See cloud droplet, drizzle drop, drop, raindrop.

| droplet transmission |
Occurs when droplets containing infectious agents are propelled a short distance through the air (eg, by coughing, sneezing, or talking) and deposited in the eyes, nose or mouth of a susceptible person.
