When rainfall makes slanted streaks on the side windows of a moving car, it is due to the combination of two main factors: gravity and air resistance. As the car moves forward, the raindrops fall vertically due to gravity, but the car's motion causes them to hit the window at an angle. Meanwhile, air resistance causes the raindrops to be deflected slightly backward, creating slanted streaks.
