Why does coating of glycerine over the glass window prevent raindrops from sticking to it?


The angle of contact of water with clean glass is less than 90° i.e., acute. Therefore, the water sticks with glass window. By coating the layer of glycerine over glass window, the angle of contact becomes greater than 90° and makes the glass window non-sticky.
