The term Drop usually refers to the distance from the top of the bed to the floor or the distance from the top of the boxspring to the floor. The drop measurement is important when considering a bedspread to make sure the bedspread will fall to the floor. Standard drop from the top of the bed to the floor is 21". The drop measurement is important for comforters and coverlets when choosing the dust ruffle. The drop on the dust ruffle is measured from the top of the boxspring to the floor. Standard drop on a dust ruffle is 14" and most comforter sets include a dust ruffle with a 14" drop. If the drop on a bed is higher than 14", then a longer dust ruffle can be layered underneath to hang/drop all the way to the floor.

Term used to describe the measure of a bullet's fall after it crosses the line of sight for the second time, i.e., beyond the zero or sighted-in range, due to the effect of gravity.

a sudden sharp decrease in some quantity; "a drop of 57 points on the Dow Jones index"; "there was a drop in pressure in the pulmonary artery"; "a dip in prices"; "when that became known the price of their stock went into free fall"

let fall to the ground; "Don't drop the dishes"

to fall vertically; "the bombs are dropping on enemy targets"

fall or drop to a lower place or level; "He sank to his knees"

cause to fall by or as if by delivering a blow; "strike down a tree"; "Lightning struck down the hikers"

let or cause to fall in drops; "dribble oil into the mixture"

a steep, sudden change in the level of the river bottom (6'+ drops called falls)

Quantity of fluid which falls into one spherical mass; a liquid globule. May also be described as several to many droplets.

Any place along the stream where water falls from one point to another. It could be a free-fall or maintain contact with rock behind, but the fall must be at a higher gradient then the surrounding stream's gradient.

Controlled fall in a stream to dissipate energy.

The distance that a projectile falls at any given distance from the gun, OR, The distance that the centre of the butt of a long-arm is below the centre line of the barrel. Both distances are measured in inches using the Imperial system.

The distance a projectile falls due to gravity, measured or calculated from the line of departure as it travels downrange. Must be corrected for difference between line of sight and line of departure. Drop is normally reported assuming a horizontal barrel.

The falling away of a body of sand when the mold is jarred or lifted.

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.

The vertical distance that the lower edge of a horizontally projected airstream falls or rises as the combined result of density effect of cool or warm air and the vertical expansion of the air path resulting from entrainment.
